Check reviews of _anything_ you decide to buy - some amazing offers out there but they might have the touchpad/keyboard/annoying quirk from hell which would slowly drive you crazy

11.6 or 13.3 inch laptops will have a perfectly viewable screen, be more portable and generally have more battery life

The 15.6 inch + will be bigger and bulkier and less battery life in general, but perhaps more powerful, and obv bigger viewing screen

If you can't find online reviews from legit review sites, just check the model in amazon.co.uk or .com and check what buyers say about it

Hadn't heard of saveonlaptops.

Are they reliable ? Prices look very good !

I was shopping around recently for a netbook and settled on the newest version of the dell mini 10 as best value and spec for the price. To get the newest spec with a more powerful battery (which is a must have) you have to order it from dell directly, PC world don't seem to be carrying them. I think it was €350 delivered with an upgraded 250GB HDD and windows 7 starter edition, and they've sorted out any small bugs with keyboards, touchpads, etc from the earlier versions.

It seemed to get very good marks in all reviews i found. Just make sure you're looking at the newest model, i think its the one that comes in black only. There were small design niggles with the touchpad and battery on the earlier ones but they seem to have sorted those out on this one.

Tesco Maynooth had a Lenovo bundle, (15'' machine, bag, printer, cds etc) for €450 there a few weeks back.
