<br>I describe the hanvon as a mini computer with a touch screen layer added<br>win 7 not intergrated properly, just bolted on.with token touchpad options.<br>linux is easier to use and adjust (try playing with windows fonts to make readable or bigger and you lose the buttons (linux we just alt grab ANYWHERE and move :)<br>
DEF DONT recommend it as a user touchpad (ipad is better for it just works crowd :)<br></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote><div><br>I've found it quite useful so far. I guess it's just a matter of what you use it for. I've replaced my laptop with it (and plan to sell the laptop on Ebay shortly) - but I discovered what I do with my laptop nowadays is read Slashdot and catch up with my RSS reader on the train, so having a smaller, lighter device that's optimised for reading is exactly what I needed. Beats lugging around my three year old 2.5kg laptop!<br>

I did buy the cheapest possible USB to ethernet adapter which at least gives me ethernet.<br>
