Asus Eee Box review

Reviews It's worth noting that the Eee Box doesn't ship with a Media Center operating system -- just regular Windows XP Home. The Eee Box is its great white desktop hope (it's also available in black), and on first impressions, it's hugely exciting.

Advent 4211 review

Reviews You only get one choice of operating system, too -- Windows XP -- but there is other useful software. There's also some drive-based recovery software that'll let you reinstall Windows XP -- should the unexpected happen -- without using an optical...

Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 review

Reviews Ours came with Windows XP Professional, for which 1GB is quite sufficient. You may need extra RAM if you intend to run Windows Vista Business on this laptop. The display has a native resolution of 1,280x800 pixels and can easily support two...

Dell Latitude XT review

Reviews Ultimate and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition optionally available. Dell has been circumspect about the format, but saw the building of Tablet PC functionality into Windows Vista and Intel's low-power Santa Rosa platform as key features in prompting...

Asus Nova Lite Mini 2L review

Reviews Asus offers retailers the option of Windows XP Basic, Vista Home Premium, Vista Home Basic and even Linux. It's not particularly loud and its sound definitely won't fill a large room, but it's handy for playing incidental Windows sounds if you're...

Reviews Like most netbooks, the One comes in Linux and Windows XP versions. The basic Windows XP model uses the same 1.6GHz Atom CPU, but gets 1GB of RAM, plus an 80GB mechanical hard drive, all for around £320.

Netbooks: Best Eee PC alternatives

Reviews Most netbooks give you a choice of Windows XP or Linux -- a free, open-source operating system. Though it might seem alien to many of us, the latter is probably the wisest choice as it takes very little time to get used to, and the money you save...

Elonex webbook preview

Reviews The Windows XP version of the webbook ships with the 80GB drive only. They're fine for running most distributions of Linux, but really do struggle when asked to run Windows XP. Elonex says it'll ship with either Windows or Linux, with the Linux...

MSI Wind review

Reviews There's the low-cost Linux version (around £320), and the slightly more expensive Windows XP model (£363). Who'd have thought super-small, super-cheap laptops would be the hottest property in the world of computing?

Asus Eee PC 900 Win (Windows XP) review

Reviews The Windows XP version of the 900 is physically identical to its Linux brother. Better still, the mouse trackpad supports multi-touch gesture inputs -- even in Windows XP. Asus is acutely aware of this and -- not wanting to alienate a huge chunk of...

Asus Eee PC 900 review

Reviews The amount of storage you get in your Eee PC 900 depends on whether you opt for the version containing Linux or Windows XP as an operating system. The Linux model comes with a fairly capacious 20GB of storage, while the Windows XP model has just 12GB.
