Remember Apricot? It probably depends how old you are, as though the brand has been around for years, it hasn't been available in the UK for the last ten. Well they're making a comeback in a big way with the launch of the PicoBook Pro, a new UMPC. It aims to challenge the likes of ASUS and Advent with its 60GB hard drive, 8.9 inch screen and runs in either Linux or XP.
They've bundled in WiMax support, Bluetooth and two USB ports, and though nothing they offer is especially new or exciting it's always good to have more choice on offer. The notebook features a SD card slot, as well as a 1.3 megapixel web camera.
The battery life is 4 hours which is fairly standard on UMPC's nowadays, and all in all it seems like a fairly attractive proposition. Watch this space for a detailed review.
£279 from Apricot
