Overview

NEC Versa T400

Editors rating
Rating: 7.7
Verdict

The slate-style Versa T400 is the thinnest and lightest Tablet PC we've seen so far, but this 933MHz Mobile Pentium III-M system's performance and battery life both need to improve.

Typical price

£ 1299

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.
