Hi,
My little sister is driving me insane using my laptop. (I have her living with me for 8weeks) while my mother is unwell.
My laptop is used for work and she keeps moving things. Anyway I have seen this netbook
https://www.ijtdirect.co.uk/?sct=allfine and it is only £85 as I do not want to spend a lot. I thought if I got her this newbook she could have her own. I have used this company for ink cartridges before and they have been great.
She only needs it for facebook, msn, web browsing, I think she has a webcam but she can manage without if this netbook does not allow it.
Is this worth it for £85?? Will it allow her to do what she needs?
I don't wanna be paying more than £100 for anything but if you know of any other products then let me know

It's not a true netbook running Win XP or 7. It's running Win CE as used on PDA's so very limited in what it can do. But might be fine for what you want it for.0

Just general internet browsing, youtube, facebook.
As its not for me, I just want a cheap option to keep her off my laptop.
But I am a bit cautious as it is not windows xp or 7Current Debt (8th March) = [STRIKE]£940 £910 725 104[/STRIKE] + £290

If I remember rightly those are the ones that aren't capable of displaying youtube vids - I'd avoid if I were you, have a look in the 'techie stuff' forum I'm sure there's been a few threads about these things.0 -

You did not mention Youtube in your first post. In that case avoid.0
