Netbook advice

How about something
like this ?

Acer Aspire One D150 @ £237
I believe this is one of, if not the, lowest price for this netbook. Comes with Windows XP Home.

* 10.1-inch netbook computer with 6-cell battery (up to 7 hours life)
* Widescreen 10.1-inch screen
* Intel Atom N280 Processor, 1.66GHz,533 MHz FSB, 512 KB L2 Cache
* 1GB RAM memory and 160GB HDD
* Larger 89% size keyboard and newly redesigned front track pad buttons

That's the version with the 6-cell battery, too, so very decent - my wife has the same model, and she's thrilled with it.

Or if you want to spend a little bit you, you could get yourself a Samsung NC10

Issues you'll have is that the low cost models generally use 3 or 4 cell batteries to keep the cost down.
So while they are cheap don't expect to get more than 2.5-3 hours out of them.

Also how's your typeing on a small keyboard?

Have you considerer one of these?


Personally, even if netbooks had exesisted when I was at uni, I'd still write by hand then type them up later.
Granted my typeing skills suck and it's faster and simplier for me to write, but the very act of typeing it up later makes you go through it and helps reinforce it in your mind.

i have considered that and as a matter of fact thats what im doing right now. But because im doing electronics and most off my lecturers actually tells me not to take any notes or hand outs. They all post them on unis internal server that we can acess later. So other reason for a newbook is so that i can look at them in the lecture
