    Wow. I got one of these as a Christmas present 2009, and it's had constant (4+ hours every day) use since with no problems.

    I know someone at work who is wanting one of these, just hope there are still some in stock on Monday morning when I see her to tell her!

    Mine is three and half years old now. Never had any trouble with it, and between all of us it is hardly ever off. Just replaced the charger two weeks ago. But given the amount of use it has lasted well and it was only 5.99 to replace off ebay. I have ordered another. Cause my DH moans he cannot get on it for me lol.
  • THANKS! Been on the lookout for a cheap netbook for months, this is a great price.

    £139 after Quidco I think.

    Red one has a better CPU. ;-)

    No optical drive and usually a slower but longer battery life Atom processor.

    Thanks, that's a great price, I have one that's a couple of years old and is great but a bit slow as the ram is low, 2 of these ordered for me and OH.

    Thank you, just ordered a red one for my daughters birthday, a great buy, used quidco and will get some tesco clubcard points too. Picking up from a nearby store to save postage. ;)
