    Asus eee? Priced €255 there (and not incl. shipping) but I have seen them cheaper around (sold out though). Haven't used one myself but I've heard good things about the eee.

    Would not touch that second eee 701, it's a rip off at that price. And i seriously doubt asus still make that model at all.

    I recently bought a HP Mini in PC World for €330. It has 250GB hard-drive and the battery lasts up to 9.5 hours. Very good value in my opinion.

    Keep an eye on the dell outlet store. I got a mini 10v for €183 inc tax & shipping etc.
    Granted I had to comprimise on battery but it is still perfect for what I need it for, ie browsing the web while stuck in an airport.

    edit: just checked there and there is one for €144.14
