Good review jason!

grammatical errors aside, I don't understand why it was spun as a notebook for "people on the go" when it has only 2 hours of battery life, has a big screen and is relatively heavy... In the last couple paragraphs it starts to backtrack and mention it as a desktop replacement, but it's too little too late.

The only part of the review that was remotely interesting was what happened when that guy called for support.

What error(s) do you see?

Well, to be completely honest, Jason425 is correct about the grammar. Just looking at the first sentence, what is written is:

I have seen in the past 10 years all manner of portable computing devices from the Palm, Windows CE, and the ever so doomed Apple Newton. Each had its finer points and usefulness but at the end of the day I always needed a PC to get the real jobs done. Every business professional uses some sort of organizer or handheld PDA to record information and keep schedules, but once again at the end of the day even these professionals come back to the office or home and sync the device with full computer to retain the information and get the real work done.

What would be correct is:

The thing to consider is that few people will notice. I have seen very few online reviews and articles that are grammatically correct. This can be gotten away with, however, because most people have to concentrate on the grammar or spelling to notice minor errors. In comparison to reviews from other sites, this review (at least the front page) is not too bad. It's not like any other article from here has been any better.

Haha, man Vee_Ess...too much time on your hands. Oh yeah, I'll be over in like half an hour...haha.

Kudos on the review too, informative despite the non-noticeable errors..heh.

yea there were quite a few, and me, being me, noticed them all :P

Maybe if the review wasn't on some no-name laptop I would be enticed enough to look past them!
