My concern is short battery life. Is there an alternative to above that anyone can suggest that has a longer battery life but all of the features that would be ok to do above?

Samsung NC140

I bought that very laptop (and supplier and price) two weeks ago but unfortunately I can't offer any advice on how good it is as its sitting in its box on top of the wardrobe, waiting on Christmas day ( present for my daughter. The 9 hr battery life was what sold me on it ( price in carphone warehouse at the time was £330)

9hr Battery life - £270 at amazon don't know how that fits with your budget

If you are not afraid of an Argos return, this Samsung NC10 at £224 with a six cell battery exceeds your specification. Be quick, there are only two. 12 month warranty.

Hi guys, looking for a netbook/laptop around the £300 mark to take with me to Japan next year.

Major requirements are 6hrs+ battery life, wifi, Windows XP/7, Word and Powerpoint (so MS Office student/home version I guess). Does anyone know of a netbook/laptop bundle including that software for that sort of price?

Also, any views on Vista? Any reasons to avoid it?

Any advice gratefully received!

Can anyone advise on the differences between Samsung NC10 & N130. Are these my cheapest options for a longer battery life netbook?

No Bluetooth and possible lesser battery uptime. I'm sure someone else knows.

The Argos deal for NC10 looks good.

Bit of a mixed up post, don't you think? Laptop with a 6hr battery life for £300? Forget it.

There are no Netbooks with Vista, so that's a wasted trip too.


Plus you expect to get Microsoft Office chucked in for free?

A Netbook is all you can have. The Samsungs have a long battery life. Buy Office with the change. voila!

Just looking at the NC10 on Amazon where there are some good deals.

What additional bits would be needed (software, accessories) to use on holiday please?

Thanks

Seems much cheaper at Argos.
