Looking for Notebook

Fishy1

Hi there,
Looking for a netbook for just surfing, email etc. Don't want to spend a fortune as I already have laptop.
I want to spend €400 max

Is this possible? I also want Windows 7.

Thanks in advance.

PS Am happy to buy either in a shop, or online.

Not many netbooks come with Windows 7, but there are plenty that are sufficiently less than €400 that you can buy it and install it yourself.

these two seem like quite good value.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately it's not available till the 10th Feb & I'm anxious to have it for an upcoming trip. It's also got XP. I think I'd be better off with Windows 7?

Keep those suggestions coming. I need to make a decision on this as soon as possible!

Okay, I just found this HP on elara. Would really appreciate it if some of you experts could take a look:)

Right mate i bought this machine in soundstore two weeks ago,nice machine.Remember it only has windows starter (you cant even change the wallpaper)and it wont take windows premium.You get a trail of micrsoft office for two months or so,when i clicked on upgrade,they were looking for about 500 euro for it.Since i am studying at Open university i found a site where i got Office professional for about 40 sterling.Got a nice carrying bag for mine as well,and bought vodafone pay as you go mobile for when am out and about.Any other questions pm me.

Hi again,
Well I bit the bullet & bought the HP I had posted about earlier on. I got it in my local PC World for €299.97, so very happy

Thanks to all of you for the advice you gave.
