I think the cheapest option for WiFi at home would be just an access point. These are £50 rather than £100 for a wireless router.

Pros:

• Cheaper

• Haven't wasted router

• Can have 100Mbps from main pc to router

Cons:

• All those wires and power supplies

• Wireless router may have easier to use firewall.

Saw Sharp MM1110 in PCWorld.

Saw Sharp MM1110 in PCWorld. A5 format subnotebook running XP. Very nice but £1100.

Pros:

• Very light and portable (<1kg)

• Nice build

• Built in WiFi.

• Makes other notebooks look big and heavy.

• Demo in store ran ok.

Cons:

• Price

• Batterys last 2-3 hours. An external battery is available in the US

• Only retailer I can find in uk is PCWorld (called Actius MM10 in other countrys.

• Not on Sharp uk web site

• Transmeta CPU. Weird chipset and compatability problems?

• No CD.

• 30 secs to come out of hibernate.

It would be a big luxury for wireless surfing anywhere in the house. So tempting but so expensive.
