Netbook

    I am looking for a recommendation for a netbook. I need something small, good memory, bluetooth, webcam etc. Havent a clue about processors etc so I dont want to just go out a buy anything. I reckon I would buy the wrong one. I generally use a laptop for social networking, assignments, saving photos etc. I just need something small enough to throw into a handbag. I suppose a good battery life is need too.

    I am just not sure where to get one and what is good.

    here is a decent option

    http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Lenovo_IdeaPad_S205_1091028.html

    it is slightly bigger than a 10 inch-screened netbook but not by much (screen is measured diagonally). weighs the same. would still fit in your handbag!
    but in terms of usability it will make a big difference to a 10 inch netbook as the keyboard and screen are bigger. it's also more powerful than a netbook and has hdmi which most netbooks don't have. (lets you connect to tv for displaying pics, playing movies etc). battery life is 5 hours - which is lower than netbooks admittedly but should be more than enough for average day.

    about €350 or less I guess taking sterling and delivery (£10 for 2day delivery) into account. lots of people here (including me) have used that site - much better than the prices in Ireland.
