Re:Just use a laptop? (Score 1)

these types of machines are upkeep disasters waiting to happen... the HP one i use (to check my webpages in IE) is all usb and infared cordless devices- keyboard, mouse etc.

my complaints are

• The batteries are always dead or missing when i get to it
• the mouse is a bit glitchy anyway
• when the keyboard doesn't work... that's when things are in danger of getting smashed...
• it is just big enough to be 'non portable' and has the same kind of flaky hard drive in it that a laptop would have.
• Upgrading? adding things like cards? Nightmare...
