Yes, they're both laptops. Yes, they're internet-enabled. But they are both extremely light and battery modest, and have the added bonus of being excessively cute. (; Also, you can feel darn good about buying an XO, as you buy one and donate one to a child in a developing country at the same time.
Those are great, and I know that 300 bucks is beans for a nice new lappy. It's just that I'm more in the 20 quid and a roll od duct tape bracket atm...

*Stop laughing, you lot. It was a long time ago!
