'Afternoon.
IT advice needed as follows:
Wanting to buy something for general use, 95% at home where I have wireless broadband.
Me and wife both work full time and we have a full time nanny who looks after the kids (7 and 4 - both already using laptops to differing extents, and astonishingly "gadget literate").
We run the household diary on Google Calendar, so that wife and I can both have access to it via the web from the office.
So, the idea is, we buy a netbook/iPad that can sit in the kitchen and give us constant access to Google and the web generally at all times, plus probably some light spreadsheet and letter writing usage, and storing/viewing photos and home video.
It doesn't need to be mega powerful or have mega battery life and the number one priority is to be easy/intuitive to use.
I was thinking of getting an iPad (when available) as that seems to tick all the boxes but I'm also looking at netbooks and have come across this:
Asus T91mt which runs Windows 7 and is touchscreen.
Asus T91MT
Can someone advise whether the Asus would be a good choice, or suggest a good alternative?
Thanks
Nick
