    Hi,

    Need to try find a decent netbook for around 500euro.

    The specs i need are:

    Between 10-13inch display-prefer 13
    Light as possible
    HDMI out and capable of processing bbc iplayer/ rte player programmes
    Also able to play mkv files to my 32inch HD TV
    Long battery life ...9hours or so
    Windows 7 if possible...4GB of ram
    And looks good...

    I dont ask for much. :)

    I was looking at the sony Vaios, look great and great spec but they are extreme on price

    Also the Acer Timeline 3810T http://www.ebuyer.com/product/178970
    looks good

    The acer is actually 200grams lighter than the asus, and would perform better at displaying full hd content with it's dedicated graphics chip.
