Review:

I have had the 901 about a year now. To all intents and purposes, it suits my needs perfectly when I am away from my main computer (Mac). Everyone comments on it, I love it and it's great - except. The C drive is only 4Gb. Every programme I download I direct to the larger D drive (8Gb), but somehow there are applications which attach themselves to the C drive and I frequently get the "There is not enough space left on the C Drive". The over-sensitive track pad is infuriating, and I have tried all the adjustments suggested, downloaded patches and so forth, all to no avail. I use a mini mouse, which is fine at a table, but often I am outside, so the track pad needs to be used.. Because of the limited hard drive memory, my music is on a memory stick, but file memory is not an issue, as there is an SD card slot for additional memory. It's the space for applications that is a major issue. As you can see, a kind of love/hate relationship!
