Found this searching for a suitable birthday gift for the other half.
Note the larger 10.1 screen in particular and the 6 cell battery for longer life.
Better value then the d250 version which really is only abit thinner and a bit lighter.

Seems pretty much a bargain to me.

Was about to say its a rip off till I saw that its got a 10'' screen, 160gb hard drive, 6 cell battery..this is the same spec as my netbook (samsung nc10), which is an extra 60 quid on pixmania, so yeah, nice find..

Yes but let us remember that this is Piximania...

Well, if you would rather pay €464.99 for it, I'm sure Expansys would be glad of your custom!http://www.expansys.ie/d.aspx?i=182103

No its just the two quoted companies have the worst CS reputation of all e-tailers.

the pixmania model is a 6 cell battery...significantly better run time for less then €10 more

Dont go near Pixmania... pay a few extra euro for a nc10.

Samsung NC10. I have one and highly recommend it. You can buy it from Elara.

Samsung NC10 is only stg£290 on amazon.co.uk

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=NC10&x=0&y=0

Sold and dispatched by amazon.co.uk themselves so should be no issues with delivery

i ended up going for this (altho admittedly i should have further researched pixmania and the samsung)
Came today after been shipped out yesterday, all in perfect nick...very happy with it. Little beaut of a thing...tempted not to give it to her at all!

I guess as was said when it all goes right with pixmania its all good...

you can get a 9 cell battery on ebay for the nc 10

I was taking a quick look at netbooks for my brother cos he's starting college and came across this:

Seems like a pretty good spec for the price and the MSI Wind has pretty good reviews
