Net book recommendations ?


Net book recommendations ?

Postby crabman on Sun Feb 21, 2010 11:01 am

Anyone using a net book ?
Any good / bad experiences with particular brands/models ?
Been looking at the £200-£300 bracket and most seem to have quite similiar specs .
Any and all advice welcome .

Get the one with the best battery life.

As you say most are same or similar spec so it comes down to personal preference with things like battery life, keyboard feel and screen quality. Screen quality especially applies if your going to be using it outdoors.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!
