Hiya everyone,
Hope someone can help me. I am useless with tech type stuff hence this post! I want to purchase a Netbook/Notebook mainly to use for word processing (Word) and PowerPoint and Excel, I also want to use the internet for research.
Can anyone recommend a netbook/notebook that is under £250 that will be good for this, or at least give me some info on what I should be looking for...I am overwhelmed with all the options!
Thanks G

I bought myself one similar to this last year: (I think mine is N140)

And I'm really happy with it, it works very well and the battery lasts up to 6 hours! I use it when I fly on the plane to watch movies, and work from home with it, never had a single problem!0 -
This would do you nicely:

Otherwise if you really want a cheap 10" netbook, then you'll be looking at the £150-170 price range. Personally I can't stand the 10" screens for typing on, 12" is minimum for me.0
