All i can say is wow sweet

i dont like this....Horrid storage space n memory, I doubt upgrading will be all that easy. The tablet style will be nice but without much storage this sucks bollocks for me. Video playback mite be a problem. I can only see this being "nice" for a child to play around with and probably break in half after a couple months. They should have a normal sim slot to allow anyone to push in their sim an use the mic an speakers to let it operate like a phone.

wait....the screen isnt touch....That sucks morrrrre......wats the purpose of having a tablet style laptop and yuh cyah press d screen an make the mouse thingy move rite....stuepz....that plain 7" lCD will be hell for anyone but a child to use.

and yes ppl EK is back wit all my awesumnezz
