Verdict

We are impressed with the range of functions and capabilities E-TEN has built into the Glofiish M800. However, the touch-sensitive buttons on the front are a serious design error, as they interfere with usability to the point of annoyance.

Typical price

£ 424.95

Featured Talkback

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
