Good Portable Machine
3 of 3 found this helpful The Lenovo S10e is a good bet as long as you know what you are buying.
What it is NOT: A Desktop Replacement
A Gaming Computer
An IPhone
What it IS: A lightweight, small, powerful machine for writing reports, spreadsheets, processing photos, surfing the net from the field. If you spend time in the field and have to write reports, fill out forms, document work progress, integrate photos into your reports, and are tired of having to lug around an 8 to 10 pound laptop - then the Lenovo S10e might be what you need.
The Lenovo S10e has become the field Computer for my firm. all of out field engineers now carry it and all reports and forms are done on the S10e. We upgraded to 2 gigs of memory (add a 1 gig card), a 6 cell battery (5 hours of run time doing a combo of Word and Excel)and a wireless USB or bluetooth Mouse add up to maximum output. You can go 3G wireless via the internal SIM card or via a USB device thru your blackberry or a 3G attachment.
At 2.8 lbs for the whole shebang (S10e, wireless mouse, power supply and assorted cables) and it takes up no more room than a Kindle device and your back will thank you every time you pick up your go bag!

A Classic and still the best Motorola
Like the original Motorola Flip Phone of the mid 1990's, the V3 RAZR is a Classic.
It has none of the gewgaws and bloatware that overload newer phones, still the same simple design that fits the pocket well and can be one handed with ease.

Upgrade from the Canon SX110is
10 of 10 found this helpful Add 1MB to the CCD, make the program easier to use but don't change the layout of any buttons or switches and you have the Canon SX120is.
One of the best small format cameras that has the programming and capabilities of most Digital SLR's for 1/3rd the price. The shutter program is from the Canon Rebel series and rivals that of my Nikon D80, the lens is as sharp adn the 2.8 maximum aperture combined with 10MB CCD and an Aperture Priority shutter setting means you can actually take a low light photo that looks fantastic. I print 8x10 enlargements on my Epson 7800 that awe my clients and have had several of my site photos used on websites and brochures to sell the high rise buildings that my Structural Engineering firm designs.
It runs on 2 AA batteries, so you in a pinch you can rob your Maglite if they run down. Only objection is the built in flip up flash is too close to the top of the body to properly light Macro shots and the ability to 1/2 or 1/4 the flash power would be appreciated but for $199.00 I'm happy.
I recommend that you install a screen protector on the 3" screen as a year of life in my side pouch resulted in s serious number of scratches to my SX110is.
The chassis is glass reinforced plastic and will take a moderate amount of abuse but the design of the zoom motor and lower body rign around the lens is reason to set the power saving program to lens retract 1 min after shooting. A good whack on the lens ring at the body and you are into a repair that cost as much as a new camera.
