    Hey, I'm looking to buy an eee pc but I'm a bit tight on cash. I think I'm gonna get the 901... I know that this isn't the cheapest one on the market but it just seems to do what I want. Does anyone know where I could get a good deal? I should say I would get the windows version and probably in black.
    Thanks! :)

    901 is dated now at this point, I'd go for something like this Acer Aspire One
    Here @ Expansys for €179.99 + €25 delivery.
    Hasn't XP on it but does have decent specs, Atom CPU, 1GB Ram and 160GB HDD with 8.9" screen same as 901.

    Yeah, that does look like a half decent netbook... For a reasonable price too! Only thing is that if I am to believe the reviews it only has 2 hours battery life and I don't think that's really enough to bring it out on the move! Unless there is some sort of battery pack...? I guess the aspire one is Linux so?

    What I'm planning on doing is, since i've got some work recently, buying a new desktop computer and a netbook. I was initially going to buy a laptop but since I won't be bringing it out too much I thought this might be a better option!
