help buying a net book

Hi.
As an eeepc user, I can't recommend them highly enough. I use the 701 as a second laptop, and for MSN, surfing & writing quick documents or a short homework assignment, it can't be beaten.
Having Linux (rather than XP) as it's operating system, means that it doesn't look like 'normal' pcs, but it is very easy to use and ideal for non-computer people. It's not better or worse than Windows XP, it'sjust different. (Now there's a contentious statement )
One final point to make, these little machines seem well made. Having a small solid state drive means that if you knock them off the arm of your settee, they are much more likely to be usable than a larger laptop!

Just my 2p's worth.

This weeks Aldi Special Probably Visiting A Store Near You Soon.

Is this ALDI laptop really a bargain and if not what compares best with it?

http://www.aldi.ie/ie/html/offers/58_7525.htm VERSUS

http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=26611

When you think about it just one knock to the ground could finnish that £590.00 Laptop off


Price 699.00 EUR OR a whopping £590.00 UK Sterling at current conversion rates

Is this the very best Asus Eee PC you would recommend spec wise by that manufacturer?

It has Inbuilt Webcam and sound wise not sure what it would be like
Would this be able to handle streaming from YouTube.com

Portability & Knockability apparently this little laptop can take the knocks?
Whats the screen like?

Aldi's Pocket PC Ladies Version which has Fake diamonds on will attract the thiefs:) when out and about.

I have been told that Wimax thats 4G (google it) to people that do not know will be available early next year
even with the recession in full swing?

Should I hold till just after Christmas for best deal.?

Thanks Samantha
