    I've been looking for one for under €200, with a 10" screen and a SATA HDD and preferebly a Atom CPU and not a celeron mobile. Have found a few on ebay at the €220 inc. postage. This however is the one I think I will get.

    Lenovo IdeaPad S10e Netbook Laptop,Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz 1GB 80GB 10.1" TFT Webcam WLAN Bluetooth SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop

    Here @ eBuyer Works out at €230 all including P&P and no threat of Vat or Customs as within EU. Can swap out HDD easily, and although 512mb soldered, it can take a 2GB memory module so maxing out at 2GB. Nice!

    Getting one for under 200 is gonna be a big challenge though

    That's a great deal! Although i hear the battery life on those isn't the greatest? But for that price who cares! Atom processor, reasonable Hard drive, 1Gb of RAM and a 10.1" screen...€230...Sounds good to me.

    Unless something has changed in the last few months you can buy off them using google checkout.

    Did some reading up on the Lenovo S10e, seems the fan on it is VERY noisy. The forums on Lenovo website has several pages dedicated to it, so making me think twice now, mightn't be a problem at all but then if so many people are complaining there might be something to it.
    Supposed Solution, Hmmm
