Cheap/2nd hand netbooks? UPDATE! Bought Bargain Samsung N145 Advice Please?

OnAndUp

Change of heart!!

Although I like the casing etc. on the N250 I have just realised that the keyboard keys are a bit smaller than the N145 on that one they are almost full size!

So I'm leaning towards the N145 now! It does have 3 Usb slots and also a card reader (that spec must be wrong!) so I can only really see that it doesn't have bluetooth difference but I have a bluetooth dongle somewhere anyway.

Would have to get a cover / sleeve for it from somewhere any suggestions?

Decisions.....decisions.....:eek:

imho

OnAndUp Good bargains you got there. They did have Netbook covers in £1 shop last week and if you have a 99p shop near you they have some in there as well.
Same as this one on ebay.....Item number: 260784182689

Me again!

I have kept the N145 because I liked the keyboard more it's easier to type "normal" on!

It's up and running just got a few more tweeks that were suggested above to do. I'm a bit awkward on it the moment as I'm so used to always using a mouse the trackpad is bugging me but I'm getting there!!

I'm thinking of upgrading the RAM to 2GB which will be about £18 would it make any difference to watching Itv Player as I watched the BGT results on it last night and the dubbing was out the whole time?

I have installed Avast for now, it has a 60 days norton trial on it after I uninstall it do you still have to use something else to get rid of all of it?

^^the ram is a good idea but the iplayer also depends on your internet speed/ connection /

I use Avast too and it's brilliant / many folks think it's best not to have two anti-virus installs running concurrently/ it's gonna be case of either/or.

some here are saying the latest Norton is v good/ I'd personally go with Avast /

Thanks!

I haven't bothered with the Norton because I wouldn't pay for it after the trial so thought I might as well start of with what I'm intending using.

Think I will upgrade the RAM - things stream ok on my desktop so the internet speed must be reasonable?
