£220 for a laptop which doesnt have a real keyboard, has a tiny screen, and
is generally just unusable (I have used one, Its awfull since I havs stubby
fingers, and since Im short sighted)  I could get a much better used
thinkpad X30 for the price.  £100 is an acceptable price though, not as a
main laptop, but as essentially a large PDA, which is what I want this for.
