    I'm looking to buy a new netbook, just to have around the house. I'll mainly be using it for just day to day activities i.e. internet, music, elearning for work and minimal ms office etc. My budget would be between €350 and €450 max. Can anybody advise me on which one to get? What should I be looking at when buying a new netbook? Is the netbook ok for day to day activities or should I go for a laptop? I was thinking of buying a dell netbook-what's your opinions on this? I would kind of like something with a built in webcam for skype but it's not essential-just something I would like to have. Thanks guys

    On a netbook and small keyboard along with trackpad make using it annoying in my opionion..if you don't need the ultra portability there's no point in putting yourself through the hardship of using such a small device..

    this is true - if you are going for a netbook go for one with an 11.6 inch screen - this will also usually mean a larger keyboard which makes it easier to use. something like an acer 751h.

    Go for a laptop, netbook's are a waste of money imo.
