Looking for a netbook
Not really up to date with the latest netbooks so would appreciate some suggestions. Basically I'm looking for a netbook < £300 (maybe £320 at a push). Must have good battery life and decent specs. So if anyone is knowledgeable about netbooks please post some suggestions.
Msi Wind, or Samsung N210 - 10.1in, or Toshiba NB200 -10.1"
Must admit my Samsung NC10 is absolutly brilliant....... you can get one for about £280

Make sure you get 2GB of RAM, my HP Mini 210 is much better on 2Gb over 1GB.
Agreed ...thats the first thing I did..... mind you I had a 2gig stick lying around from my ASUS EEEPC... that was a good little netbook... Its running ubuntu netbook remix which has brought it back into the useful category..... even with only 1 gig...
Thinking of selling it on here...

Thinking about getting the MSI Wind U160 and upgrading it with 2Gb RAM.
I have got an eee pc 1000H. a pretty good little machine, but the batteries longevity didn't last long :[ However, it has 1GB ram, and an atom 1.6Ghz processor, and is fine for win XP. So I think a new model in this range would be a an ok choice (2GB RAM, etc). Keyboards nice to use too!
don't get a 10" one would be my advice, it's just far too unfriendly using 1024*600 and makes web browsing especially a completely annoying, slow and just a plain miserable experience
I'm thinking of selling my n220 due to this it's just sooooo annoying
Its a great wee machine. If you look on skinflint.co.uk you will see it £10 cheaper elsewhere with free delivery, so the money saved could go to the extra ram. Aria might price match for you if you phone, but you'd have to ask about delivery as well.
I have got a Asus Eee PC 1008HA
Its pretty good, battery life is amazing.
Which model & how much??
2007 - Present day.
10" is fine, I used my Eee 701 which is a 7" screen and it wasn't too bad. My Aspire D150 is all good apart from the touchpad is rubbish.
Q6600 @ 2.4GHz - 4GB 800MHz DDR2 - ATI HD 4850 1GB - Windows 7 Pro
My other half has a Dell mini 1011. It is a nice little bit of kit and i don't find the screen too small for browsing, but it's all personal preference.
I wouldn't recommend it to you though, you mention you want good battery life, and the 1011 just does not have that at all. So it's one to avoid in your case, even though nothing really wrong with it
Just realised how helpful this post is :rollseyes:
BFM
noticed this today whilst looking for a replacement for my netbook and while it maybe the upper end of you budget you can get the Acer Aspire Timeline 4810T for £320 which will blow any netbook away , just google product search to find it
ASus EEEpc 1005HA is superbShould just about be able to get one within the correct price range...
