Hi, Just goes to show what's often taken as being standard often isn't 'smile'. I've got so used to being wireless I don't know what I'd do without Bluetooth. But, I'm eager to know if there will be a new specification of the standard soon what with USB 3.0 coming out. Whereas Bluetooth is great for device pairing, it's still terribly slow in terms of transfer speeds. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

Took it for granted that there would be. Disgusted when I discovered my mistake. Still we learn from our mistakes and guess a bluetooth dongle only set me back a further few pounds. -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: Recommendations - Lightweight Notebook Computers From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 13/04/2010 7:07 am HiBarry, No Bluetooth?

I've got a Toshiba Satellite T130 which has 2 GB of memory (and can take 1GB more), a 256 GB hard drive, wireless, Bluetooth and even a web cam, Windows 7 Premium, and weighs just over 3 pounds. And it cost just under £400 including VAT. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Denis Tocher Sent: 11 April 2010 20:47 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Recommendations - Lightweight Notebook Computers Hello All, Could anyone with experience of notebooks weighing a few pounds please recommend one? I possess a Samsung N120 and like it a lot but it is still too heavy for me to tote around and use on the lap for long. Presumably you have to sacrifice hard disk memory for the lower weight? Memory is important as I am a user of a number of client software programmes and Jaws etc. I would like a notebook to ensure the keys are large enough.
