I think its nice. It looks great, and is good for what I want to do (web browsing, msn, email etc). What do you think?

Don't have £300 to spend on it :( And I prefer Linux for a netbook :)

Looks quite cheap, but surely you want one better than that?

Exactly the same as my mums.

Be warned: The wifi card is crap, you have to practically be in the same room as the router to get a signal - It's very very weak.

Lots of people have that complaint, otherwise, it's good. Just be prepared to spend a few hours uninstalling all the pre-installed crap :)

Plus, my mums was cheaper, from comet, last month and had Windows XP :S

Preferably, yes. But that netbook is at the top of my budget and I can't find a better one for that price. I prefer Linux for a netbook, although the RAM is small...

Well, if it's all you can afford, then it's quite good. :D

Looks pretty impressive, but if the wifi is that bad it might not be worth the money. It might be worth getting these ones which I've heard better reviews of:

The Samsung NC10 is very good, but like £300.
