Tech Eye: Bongiorno princepessa

When not sinking pints of ale, scratching ourselves in public and loudly making up stories of our virility and prowess to impress the other local losers, we can usually be found camped out in front of the TV glued to the latest football game while loudly decrying how we "could have made it big if our knee hadn't given out."

And so it is that we find ourselves scratching together a living in the world of gadgets and gizmos, long held to be one of the last bastions of selfish manhood, along with James Bond novels, the priesthood and the village bar (ladies allowed in the lounge only).

But sadly that fine and noble tradition of misogyny is slipping even in our little technocratic kingdom, and now we find that the number of packages containing gadgets designed with the ladies in mind are starting to clog up the doorway. We've poked and prodded a few and after some haranguing from Dear Mother we've decided that we can broaden our horizons just a whit to bring you something that we wouldn't be caught dead carrying, but might get you out of a hole when you next forget her birthday or find yourself, blood-pressure soaring, sweat pumping and teeth gnashing, hurling yourself frantically round the shops on Christmas Eve looking for that perfect little something that will stave off the divorce for one more year (oh yes, we've been there).

So forthwith and herewith find the Ego notebook. We could give you all the technical specifications but we know they don't matter a jot when it looks like a handbag. Get your laptop/handbag for around zł.14,800 and ensure domestic bliss for a month at least.
