Review:
Thanks indeed to the greasy salesman on tottenham court road who sold me my Q1, not that I knew this at the time. Who could have known back then that the Q1 would replace my sturdy gas turbine powered towering behemoth that called itself a PC with a delectabley discreet computing powerhouse that called itself the Q1.
no longer the need to concentrate blocking out the sound of the twin fans in the desktop, for thankfully its all swicthed off and sits beside my desk as an off cream disfunctional doorstop. My Q1 sits atop my mac mini, plugged comfortably into the KVM and providing photoshop, ACDC, delphi, blender , and all other computational needs.
Luckily I'm not a games player, I'm more of an artistic inventor geek. If I were a games player, the Q1 would probably not do. Its not the fastest graphics in the world and its hard disk wouldnt win any worldspeed records. But who cares, its small, beautiful, portable and satisfies my computational needs. and yes the wife covets it, one day she knows it will be hers - but not yet.

Acer Aspire One D250 Android
Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
Acer Aspire One Pro 531
Its good battery life is a plus, but there are other netbooks with longer-lasting batteries and better keyboards
