I’m guessing that PC World UK don’t really have a clue what’s going on outside their HQ when it comes to Easynote XS pricing.
DavidW just wrote into the forums to tell us that he’s played with a Packard Bell Easynote XS in Dixons, Holland today (that’s the same company as PC World) and as an ex R2H owner he was quite impressed. Not only with the device, but with the price too! 599 Euros. I quote from the forum…
First impressions are that it is an absolute winner. The size and weight are amazing. The screen though small is very clear (once we set it to 800×480 (the factory default was set higher which made for 3pt text). The screen did seem to have a lot of wasted space around it. I felt they could have got another cm in both directions out of it – it looked like the screen could have been a size bigger or the PC a size smaller, but I am sure there are good reasons why it is like this.
There’s more positive feedback in the forum entry.
So Brits, get yourself a cheap ferry crossing to the Hoek van Holland and buy an Easynote XS. Its got to be a better trip than PC World!
