Cheapest netbooks discussion

RayJ_3

I have recently bought a net book from Samsung which was recommended by Which. I want to add Word & outlook software to it. I bought a lap top 2 years ago with the full microsoft office package.

Can I install this software onto the netbook, without breaching any law?

Argos are currently selling one of the new generation Intel Atom chipset 10" netbooks for £200.

I'm not allowed to post links Checkout the Argos web site and use product code 508/2669

Not much difference in performance/power over previous generation, but reported better battery life.

Aldi have this one on offer on Thursday 4th, please can anyone comment if its any good for the price and spec. Thank you.

Very similar spec to the MSI netbook from Argos above which is considerably less (but Aldi offer better warranty).

Maplins do an online deal for a small netbook which id only £69.99

It is b-grade which means usually it was sent out and then returned by the consumer within the 30 day time limit.

It is great if you want to do email and web-browsing but it may struggle to use youtube and I doubt it'll have any great word processing power...

Good luck

Ray, try using OpenOffice from Sun Microsystems. All you need to do is change the settings to make it save as a MS Word /Excel Doc and it is fully compatable with any MS doc. Best of all it is FREEEEEE!!! no laws to break

I actually tried Open Office, but when it converted my MS Office files, the formatting was all wrong.
