Oh, i have seen a Flybook first around 2004. It was a pentium III or Pentium M device, but the shell and the controls were essentially the same. Insanely expensive.

Point is, the touchscreen (not an RF tablet) had been a key element of prior models, are you sure it had been dropped at some point and then add back in?

This isn't really a new netbook. . .the big reason we decided to film it was not many people have seen it AND it is now with Windows 7.

About being dropped and put back in, no, since they added it in it has been a standard feature. But an interesting thing to note is that the body was never changed from the original non-touch screen editions. I was simply pointing out that it had been upgraded to touch screen.

All of this tiny computers have really weak cpu! even this cpu is useless, and anyone buying this would just use it as a subcomputer anyway. whats the point of putting so mutch money into it then?

Maybe buy one with no OS instead to avoid that price atleast! XD

dude i dont surppose you can do me a copy of v5 flybook cds as i didnt get any with my refurb hence cheap price. I have windows 7 runing on mine i think windows xp tablet edition would be better though use less harddrive space. Mine has 4gb ram and 120gb hd think they madea mistake sending it to me as it shouldve been 2gb and 80gb hd but i aint complaining. sorry for the previous post spelling is awful but it was very late and i was typing without the light in :) maybe you can rapidshare thanks
