I thought that SSD's had no noticable battery saving or in some cases made it worse?

I'm sure I saw something that showed that.

However, that machine is a funky little thing. So tempted myself - ideal for out and about.

Yup. My 17" lappy was peanuts really. It's a complete brick to move about, but it's a lovely workhorse.

This is not a Mac. I repeat. There is no Apple logo on this hardware.

I like my new little 4211, so much so I'm posting from it right now

Decided against the 4213 as the only thing which was noticeably better was the track pad and thats not worth £70 to me, I can always BT to my phone to get HSDPA and I won't have to remove the sim from my phone to do it

Questions!

1) Battery life?
2) Audio quality?
3) Svideo output?

Ta.

Very tempted by these, however I think the dual core ones are due soonish?

Mark · 22-09-2008, 20:25

And the 4211 is the MSI Wind Daz mentioned. Looks nice.

Apparently so, but to be honest at this sort of price I didn't really want to wait around

I can see why and I am damn tempted. Really if it can play movies then that's all I'll use it for combined with that T-mobile internet dongle.
