Cany anyone tell me is this Netbook worth it? How is the spec, processor etc. Not too up to date on the netbook jargon so hopefully you lot will be able to send me in the right direction. Buying it for the parents so they can skype /surf the net etc.

Can anyone suggest a netbook that's really good value for money and not too expensive since this one is probably at the top of the budget scale for me.

It's a grand netbook, it'll do the job of just basic web browsing. Only thing I'd recommend and upgrade it to 2GB of ram if you can. Only about another 10-20 euro. It's not the best netbook for sure, but you could do a lot worse.

If that's the top end of your budget then you probably won't find much better than it.

Have a look over on hotukdeals, the red version is being discussed there.
