I want to get a notebook/netbook - it needs to be small and robust, it is mainly for me to use whilst on the train to work - I have looked at a lot of top 10 best lists and samsung seem to come up quiet often
I am looking at the samsung nb30, n210 and n110 but they all seem around the same price and seem to do the same thing so I am a bit lost as to which one to get
I also like the idea of a touch screen too if at all possible but I am not sure if any of the samsung ones have that option, and if they do then I think I have to ensure that I have windows 7 and maybe a special version of it to be able to run the touch screen functions etc
I don't really want to spend over £300
can anyone give me any advice and also, where to get a good deal - I am not techy when it comes to PC's
thanks in advance

I use a Medion E1210 which is, in fact, identical to the MSI Wind. I have had it for 2 years 4 months and, even with heavy, constant use, it has never let me down. I paid £279 new from ALDI.
I also have an Asus eee PC 701 which I bought new from an eBay seller for a whisker under £100. Its small size, lack of chunky power supply and light weight make it the ideal device for using on the move.
If I were in the market for a new netbook today then I would be keen to have a closer look at an Acer Aspire One.
If a touchscreen is important to you then have a look at the iPad and related devices.

ah, the Ipad - whilst I love the idea of it I am not sure if I like the whole keypad on the screen thing - I have an iphone and don't like that eliment of it - also - if I want to play games on it I can not use the ones I already have for my PC and would have to buy a new lot which can only be used on the ipad (I believe) - the other thing is that it seems like apple have all these non standard fittings so for me to use a usb I have to buy an apple addapter - clever of them but a rip off for me
I will look at the acer aspire one - thanks0
