Small screen notebook to replace netbook

    We have a Samsung NC10 netbook in the house for general use, it's been great and has served us well, but the limited screen size is begining to grate and I think it's almost time for an upgrade. I want to stick with a normal small screen (under 14") lightweight notebook running Windows, tablets don't do it for me. The machine will be for general web browsing, Youtube, Facebook, MS Office, perhaps some light gaming (Portal 2). Budget is around the €400 mark, could maybe stretch another €50-75.

    I thought I had spotted the ideal machine, the Samsung 305U (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007VBBYOM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01) but after doing a bit of digging, it appears the wifi reception is poor, and that would be a deal breaker for me.

    Anyone have any other suggestions? Anything being launched before the end of the year that might fit the bill?

    Do yourself a favour and stay clear of the AMD Fusion APU.

    Here's a nice 13.3" Lenny with a decent processor, although slightly outside your budget it is well worth it. If you don't mind a regular 15" display, I'm sure we'll find something similar for around 400 Euro.
