I know the cover is a little flimsy, but is described as a dust protective cover which I suppose it serves well for. By no means is it a carry case or anything near that, though I'd be surprised if any of the other netbooks in the range came with anything close to a bag or carry solution. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2009 5:52 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Netbooks > Hi Andy > > The current range of Netbooks appears to be similar, with a few for and > against points, depending on your point of view.
