But if you're looking for a computer to shlep around there's a lot to be said for keeping the weight down to 1kg. Try this experiment: a regular-sized can of food weighs between 400 and 450g. Stack two cans, and hold them in one hand. Then add a third. Which would you prefer to carry? If you're thinking about the Agora PRO, adding a fourth can will give a closer match. So we're still faced with the tradeoff between reasonable keyboard and screen sizes as provided by a 10in netbook such as the Agora, and the light weight of a smaller model. (It's hard to tell from photos, but I'd estimate that the Agora's keyboard is somewhere around 90 percent of full size.) What about the software? See page 3. |
