Argos netbooks

gustafo

Hi,

I am looking to buy a cheap (between 200-300) netbook mostly for browsing the net and watching and streaming movies,


Was checking argos website and they have a few around this price but as i know very little about them i really don't know which to go for,

Here is the list from argos any ideas which would be best?

They are all more or less the same. Dual core Atom N2600 processor, 1 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD and Windows 7 Starter.

I have three ASUS netbooks myself, never any problems.

If you decide to get one of the ASUS, make sure it's a X101CH. According to the ASUS website, the X101 only has an Atom N455 (which is cr@p) and an 8 GB "SSD", although the Argos website says it has an N2600 and a 320 GB HDD.

Personally, I find a white keyboard easier to work with in poor ambient light than a black one.

720p (which already exceeds the 1024x600 resolution) and 1080p will play perfectly well, although at 1080p you'll hear the fan quite a lot.

Correction, I believe the X101CH is fanless.

Looking for a netbook myself. Its for travelling with work.

That Asus in argos any good? I want to keep it to about 1kg so that pretty much rules out the 11" netbooks.

Any suggestions apart for the Argos netbooks?
