Remember my review of the T-Bao TBook R8? Unfortunately its keyboard and mousepad stopped working a few weeks after my last post, and it’s now living a rather sad (but useful) life as a printerserver. The support from its chinese distributor was atrocious as expected (they wanted me to reinstall windows and all drivers, even though it was clearly a hardware issue: the keyboard works if the machine is cold, but stops working as soon as it warms up, making this a likely soldering problem), so now it just sits there, unloved but helpful.

You get what you pay for, unfortunately.
