Interesting to see a review of a different machine but a strange review. A few things seem odd!
- The complaining about and OS costing extra. Do you seriously think that the OS is free when buying from Acer/Dell/Lenovo...?
- The complaint about no DVI/HDMI meaning not being able to connect it to a large monitor!? I am sorry but the VGA-port also let you hook up the machine to a bigger screen and while DVI is nice it seems to me the most compatible port is the VGA one.
- OS not pre-installed a problem. Not really - I for one would rather have no pre-install than suffering an image that is outdated or maybe even defect. Just think about the machines where installing the Vista Service Pack meant a hung machine - simply due to HP using one image for both Intel and AMD based machines.
