Overview

OQO model e2

Editors rating
Rating: 6.9
Verdict

Although the OQO model e2 is a nicely built UMPC with a neat docking station, we can't see it replacing the notebook in your briefcase or the handheld in your pocket.

Typical price

£ 1050

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.
