    No much difference in CPU tbh but the acer I linked has :
    Windows 7 Edition Home Premium OS /bigger screen/more RAM

    I'd recommend the Acer

    They still sell netbooks? I thought the market for them all but died?

    I've ordered that exact HP netbook today from PC World. It's brilliant - get it! BeatsAudio is class!

    Hi all,
    I'm considering buying this HP netbook from Argos. http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5086964/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7COffice%2C+PCs+and+phones%7C14418968/c_2/3%7C19780850%7CLaptops+and+netbooks%7C14419039/c_3/4%7Ccat_14419039%7CNetbooks+and+mini+laptops%7C14419042.htm

    It appears to have a good processor and decent spec... I want something small and neat and for a good price and I think this fits the bill. Also I read that the speakers produce good sound too...

    I want to use it for listening to music, browsing the net, downloading and watching the occasional movie, word docs and small bit of photoshop maybe..

    Whats your opinion?

    Go for it instead of the Acer. If you're gonna be attempting to use photoshop, get the HP. I've the HP mini 3300 series and even with it's processor clocking in at 1.6 ghz, it's just not sufficient. So going for the Acer would just be a bad idea.

    Though, would you consider paying a similar price for a slightly larger one? Photoshop on a screen that small at those resolutions just sounds counter productive xD
