Psion NetBook Pro review

expensive agenda and viewer

It is fairly obvious that this review is influenced. Earlier Psion products running the superior Epoc OS where almost consistently kept out of reviews or comparisons. But now that there is a Psion product with CE your magazine is positive. I would like to see what you have tested for your review, e.g. connectivity. Even Psion’s own tech support is saying that the ActiveSync connectivity is a nightmare. I would invite everybody to check out this discussion and review the referred Website to see a true comparison between the netBook (Epoc OS) and this product.

Verdict

The NetBook Pro looks like a mini-notebook, yet runs the handheld-orientated Windows CE .NET 4.2 OS. Although it’s primarily aimed at corporate mobile workforces, we think it could have wider appeal.

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.
