Fifteen minutes ago my ten year old neatly tipped a cup of tea straight into the keyboard of my NetBook computer during a very lovely good morning hug.
Oops! It looked so funny when we tipped the computer on it's side and all this hot tea kept pouring out one corner; an expensive, high-tech tea pot!
It's going to be a trick to replace it without having it to speak through at the shop ..... but what should I buy? I am replacing a Toshiba NetBook which is very compact with great battery life; but it runs pretty slowly and has always had annoying faults in it (such as frequently rebooting of it's own accord).
Any advice? I am tempted to go to a MacBook Air for it's solid state, lightweight design; but speech software is all Windows based and I'm unsure about the viability of crossing platforms. I also wondered about a tablet, but I'm still pretty good with a keyboard and I expect that I will be for a while.
I have to sort this quickly! What do you say?
