I was considering buying one of these: http://www.carphonewarehouse.ie/department/Laptops/2 primarily for web browsing, I thought this was good value. Anyone else have any thoughts or know of any others for similar price range? I heard Tesco were selling a Toshiba for €150. Cross post disclosure here

You'll get as much performance as can be expected from any netbook. If you want web browsing then it's probably more than capable, if you want more (a little multimedia capability) then it depends on which atom processor is inside it. It more than likely has intel integrated graphics so you won't get any games out of it, but you can get a cheap ram upgrade (from 1 to 2GB) that might bulk up its performance somewhat.
