This isn’t a tablet, nor does it have a rotating screen, but the Asus Eee PC is obviously a device a student could appreciate. At around $400 and light as a hardback book, it’s a handy tool for typing papers and reading around campus (like a Kindle with a keyboard). I didn’t realize how [...]

Out with the old (sob!) and in with the new

Well it couldn’t have happened at a worse time i.e. a few days before the start of my new term, but recurring battery problems have finally caused me to lose faith in my trusty old Acer C300 and as a consequence I’ve sent her packing to the Tablet PC retirement home (well actually I’ve passed [...]
