A great mini-notebook deal



First saw this being offered for 1099 AED or about SGD 440 on friday. Daisy was tempted but we thought probably as good an offer is also available back home.

Saw a more modest version of this machine in ST on saturday morning going at SGD 599 and only with a 16GB SSD (the one above is equipped with a 120GB hard disc).

We decided to pick up one on saturday. While in the queue to pay, there were a few others like minded purchases. One of them tried to jump queue a lady and I had to shoo him off. Yes, people here are less shameless about such behavior.

Looks great. I've been toying with the idea of getting one of these too, since I hurt my shoulder lugging around one of the normal notebooks. What brand was this again? And how's the performance now you've been using it for a while?

A HP in this case, but I have another one bought earlier in Singapore and carried here. That one was by Acer. So many choices now and they are much lighter than the luggables. All of them have one common feature - Intel Atom based processor. Get the 6 cell battery type for longer up time.
