Need decent netbook for uni asap

mrsg26

My laptop has just broken and is away being repaired and as I have exams at uni next week I desperately need online access, don't see the point in buying another laptop as the insurance company will replace my laptop if they can't repair it so think the easiest thing to get is a netbook. My budget is max £300 and want one which is fast and excellent wifi connections, will b going to get it in the morning so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

These are quite good. They have the intel atom processor and a battery run time of up to 10 hours, http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/r/samsung%20n150/0_0_0/?srcid=198&!!!!!Laptops_LT&xtor=SEC-24-GOO&mc!!!!!gg_goog_7904&gclid=CNa85c3fp6YCFQkf4QodQxz2Zg

well if you are going to pick it up - what/which shops are you looking at buying from?

- also whats the point in having 'fast' when it is just for a short time as a back up until you get your laptop back, unless of course you need it to run certain programs, if so which ones. so you can take into account minimum spec

any netbook will run the basic's of the net and office programs however none of them could be mistaken as being fast so why not just get a cheap one, just remember the keyboard, if you are going to be doing a lot of typing you will need a bigger netbook ~10 inch to allow for a easier to use keyboard

Thanks for the recommendation did consider the samsung one also possibly looking at the acer aspire d255. I will b going to pcworld as I need to have it today and cAnt wait on ordering online! Whilst I realise it won't replace my laptop in the long term I would still like to use it in lectures etc rather than taking my heavy laptop. Just wanted the best recommendation for my budget.

netbooks are great for things like lectures / light-weight, long battery life -- ideal.

Samsung - best quality netbooks IMHO

My Acer Aspire One is still soldiering on nearly 3 years down the line. I'd certainly buy Acer again.

My Samsung NC10 is great. Useful to just sit infront of the TV, and to take away on holidays etc.
