Everything
Suppose there must be, but I can't think of them.
I've worked my way through Toshiba's, Sony's and a Acer Ferrari (wicked looks, but so heavy to lug around). I thought about a notebook, but they are all so overpriced - except the Philips Freevents x52! It was around £750 from memory, and it's the best business tool I've used for a long time. Last week I did a load of accounts and then watched a DVD on the Paddington - Truro train, and the battery petered out after just short of 4 hours - way different to larger machines, which claim one thing and then run out of juice an hour and a bit later. The wireless locks onto signals far better than my Acer. The screen is just great. It's so light I don't know I'm carrying it (unlike any other laptop), and it's so compact it slips into hand luggage or sits on communal desks/tables without causing any nuisance. Runs all the applications I've put on it at the same speed of more highly speced machines. Looks good and neat, and it's easy to use. No probs, except when I dropped it off the kitchen worktop - the case survived, but the keyboard packed up (cable dislodged). It was fixed in a couple of days under guarantee by courier. If it came with a dedicated case it would be perfect. The computer equivalent of my Elise (Colin Chapman's dictum: Add lightness), fast, lean and everything you need with everything you don't left out.
