    I am looking to buy a netbook. To be honest I know pretty much nothing about them. I do not mind which type type of hard driver . I am not adverse to having Linux but I would prefer Xp.

    I can afford to spend max of 350 euro, I would like as much battery life as possible and a web cam.

    Samsung NC10, review here
    6-7 hour battery, XP, 160 GB hard drive

    Price in Ireland is around the €370-400 mark.

    You can pick it up from the UK for much less.
    TheHut.com have it for approx €325 inc delivery

    or €345 from www.dabs.ie

    Go quick to thehut.com, use discount code JAN10 before noon 14th Jan and u can snag one for £288 with free delivery, so about €300 all-in

    EDIT: Other posts suggests that discount shows OK but then thehut will not honour it
