  2. Good Boy at 2:50am 6th November 2009 Ian, why do you like to take the Asus?
    1. Ian Bell at 7:57am 6th November 2009 Asus has really polished their offering. We have seen a lot come in the office here and I have just been pretty impressed with them. The Acer is nice too though. I use a MacBook Air for my personal laptop. Although it's expensive, it is light and has a large screen.
  3. Ian Bell at 5:38pm 5th November 2009 I would take the Asus. Doesn't Sony or Dell have a netbook?
