Best Value Netbook

Options
Hi looking for a netbook.

Would prefer XP as not sure about Linux.

Fancy the Samsung but bit pricey so I also looked at the Advent 2133 I think at £249,

Any ideas anyone?

  • Samsung NC10Blue is £303 at dixons.co.uk. You might even find voucher codes for it. It has a 7hr battery life. It also has XP. I am pleased with my NC10 & I am typing this on the NC10.
  • lots of reviews here ( i am also leaning towards the samsung )

    Im waiting to get the Samsung one - been waiting since christmas for John Lewis to get it back in stock as they have a 2 year guarentee free, its £322 there but I reckon the free guarentee is a good deal.

    Should be in store by end of Feb.

    The reviews Ive read are all excellent.
