Do you presently own or hope to purchase a Netbook / Mini Notebook PC?

One of these will be handy for under a £100 if you realise it is only really for checking your emails ans surfing the net.

Wherever you are you have full access to anything on your home computer, but if you lose it on a train or bar, you have only lost £100 worth of kit, not all your valuable photos or documents

Nick Smith, the chief executive of Elonex, told the Telegraph that he feels there is a gap in the lower-end of the market waiting to be exploited.

That looks good value Baza, was kinda looking for doing trips really like info if you get caught out with a breakdown or something/ camp sites/ b&b/
oh and not forgeting sending your m8`s e cards.

That one Jof is one up from a Blackberry or posh mobile.

It's all you really need if it's just for pleasure and convenience.

Snap Simon. Just got the wife one. Piece of cake, went on line & added all the options. Great bit of kit. Don`t do Linux myself, if I keep everything Windows, I don`t get confused.

It’s an Advant with a 10” screen a 160 gig hard drive and 2 gig of memory that’s quite big for such a little machine,

I use it all the time now my Dell laptop is now redundant

It will fit in the pannier and only weighs a couple of pounds, I got it from PC World and paid just £279.00,

I also got a JVC Hand held camcorder so I should be able to get a few moving pictures online next winter,

Hi I think this is the same one as I bought t'other day (built in dock for a 3g sim card (HSDPA??) so no need for a dongle (Mr's). If you go on PC World's web site you can reserve for collection at £249.99 (£30 is better in your pocket).

I wanted a Linux one (Mac Snob I am!) but this one runs XP (pah) but for what I want, internet (Safari), email (Thunderbird), films (VLC), Documents (Open Office...free!!)I don't have to load on any Microsoft bloat (personal opinion allowed?).

Hope this helps.
