Hmm, that link went all funny on me. Did you review any Acer models by any chance?

Hrm.. seems to work OK for me.
Yeah, reviewed an Acer - was a bit taken aback by the high spec, small size and small price.. unusual!
The reviews are very brief so here it is:
Acer TM6290 Series - 12.1′‘ Widescreen
Listed RRP is €855 (excluding Vat)
Another ultra-portable 12.1′‘ widescreen laptop, but one that goes some way to matching its bigger alternatives in terms of performance.
This Acer laptop has a 2GHz dual core processor, 2GB of Ram and a 160GB HDD and comes in at just under 2kg in weight. The laptop has a built-in fingerprint reader for added security as well as a multi-flash card reader and a built-in webcam as standard.
With such an impressive amount of power for its size and relatively low price this is by far one of the most attractive ultra-portables on the market.

Thanks Adam. I have a far less fancier model, the TM2420, but it’s great. Best laptop I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a couple different ones.
