Best priced netbook for travelling

norangeduck

Hi people -
I wonder if anyone can help me find a good priced netbook that I can take travelling with me - the ideal would be cheap, a good battery life and something that will store my photos (though im gonna back them up to an external hard drive too) and wifi of course

I would spend up to £200 - but I have seen this one http://www.lightinthebox.com/Mini-Netbook-Laptop-7-TFT-VIA-VT8500-400M-Hz-128MB-2G-Windows-CE-SMQ4012-_p80219.html
which is £80 - is it too good to be true - or is it in fact not very good at all - im not really a techie, but the less I can spend the better for me!

Thanks you guys :T

No, it's just nonsense. Peruse the threads for current advice and prices for Samsung, Toshiba and Asus.

Cheapest decent will be around £140(new condition refurb), but paying a bit more can get you a lot more.

i have 1 of these from maplins

they really are not up to much, i got it as a avi player for in the car for the children, it will not even do that well ( i have to down scale - re-encode all the films )

you will be able to pick up a acer aspire one for 150 - 160 quid

it will have linux ( just google tinyXP for a XP install ) and you will need to store pics on a SD card OR USB Sticks, as it only has a small SSD for the OS

Samsung NC10 or later model
