    My 9 yr old wants a netbook for Xmas,Is it worth it vs a laptop? He plays moshi monsters and driving games can they manage that successfully?Some much older sites say they are slow on games.This current laptop on way out I want a new one so the kids getting a netbook would spare my new machine. Any comments would be helpful ,thanks..

    Tablets seem to be more popular among kids for games tbh.

    60/70 quid I think and should be back in stock in three days

    do you mean flash for games?

    i think flash will only work on supported andriod tablets. plus adobe is phasing out flash on alot of platforms.

    laptop the way to go, tesco where selling a decent enough laptop for online games for 299.
    not sure if they still are, but look around you could get one for around that price.

    Yes it's the adobe that the tab is not compatible with.I think maybe a laptop for them and a tablet for me, now just to find all that cash...

    Android is loosing Flash support too, Netbook would be the best bet at present for playing online flash games :)
