    I'd like to buy a MSI Wind netbook, but I'm not sure where to buy it. I checked some sites and they go for like 300 euros, which is a bit much to be honest. It seems that some go for 200-250 euros on eBay (save for the ridiculous shipping prices), but someone told me I might as well get one for free with a UMTS plan or whatever, but I have no idea how smart that would be.

    So what's the smart way to go about buying a netbook (namely a MSI Wind) ?

    Go up North to Sprucefield or Lisburn and pop into PC World. Thats the cheapest. If its not convenient- buy online from the UK. Why are you insistent on the MSI Wind btw- there are far more desireable netbooks out there (think the Samsung NC10 and NC20 for example). I wouldn't advise anyone buy one on a UMTS or 3G contract.......

    Would take a look at www.pixmania.ie and check out the Advent 4211 & 4212 , they are basically a rebranded MSI Wind.....nice netbook.

    And agree with smccarrick about the samsungs, reckon they are a step up from the Wind/4211.

    [edit] The prices seem to have went up again, used to be better on Pixmania.
