netbook purchase advice?

moneypooh

My DD could do with a netbook to use in study periods. She just needs a good system, no major hard drive, nothing too fancy with reasonable RAM. Prefer windows vista or 7 if possible. She just needs it to do light work and then transfer work to her laptop when she gets home. She has a 19" laptop so that's not practical to take to school.
Any idea where I can pick up a good reliable netbook without breaking the bank?
Thanks

She doesn't want Vista. XP would be better, especially when it comes to a Netbook.

I agree about Vista, but 7 would be better if possible.
I'd like to get one for under £200 if I can.

It has Windows 7 Starter. Though only up to four hours battery life per charge.

I'm looking for a bit longer battery life as she doesnt want to lug around cables.

Don't they use pen and paper anymore, less likely to get stolen/damaged and less opportunity for distraction.

Bit of a tall order a new decent netbook with at least a 6 cell battery and with Windows 7 (avoid Windows 7 starter) for under £200 :eek:
