Right guys and gals, I need a netbook now that I've chucked an old Sony on eBay for some programs that my university uses that are so braindead they refuse to work on my 7 x64 box and my Mac and 7 ends in me losing my userspace >_>;;; I'm looking to spend < £250 for something with a decent keyboard (I has dysphraxia which makes typing a challenge for me), a decent battery and obviously won't run like a cheesegrater strapped to a toaster...

I've been looking at the Samsung NC10 (bit behind compared to that new Intel platform I know) but they come it at about £230 ish online. My mum already has a Dell which I'm not able to work with the keyboard to give you an idea.
 
Don't know much about samsung computer's but I will recommend you stay away from the asus netbooks. Had one, lasted a month and I never did anything special with it. And from another post on this message board someone had said that They are having a lot of problems with there netbooks.


I recommend this toshiba
http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe..../Toshiba-NB200-11L/1067488/toshibaShop/false/

I believe it says it gets over 9 hours of battery life and its 229 euro.
 
I have a 1101HA from Asus, comes with a slightly bigger screen, aswell as a HD resolution, I usually get around 6 hours batt life on it, (advertised is 9 hour)

Comes with a bigger keyboard than most, (almost full size)

Depends what you want to do with it, the CPU is an Atom, slightly slower than the A270, but can be overclocked via BIOS, the netbook itself is dead quiet, takes around 1 hour to fully charge, video performance does well as long as you don't actually want to run any HD video's or video fullscreen :P
 
Does anyone have proof of IBM's quality? I am not saying there bad computer's but everyone says this but yet I don't hear of them selling well and since I don't know anyone that has ever owned them don't know of there quality build. I know at one point the navy used IBM desktop's but they sucked really bad.
 
honestly, i would go for an hp mini 110, or 210. the keyboard is huge, then buttons are all raised up, so it is easier to type.

I did some research and when IBM built there computers they where quality, but when Lenovo took over that department they went to crap.

Plus any company that has laptops that cost more than a mac and is the same in performace can't be trusted.

Il be honest with you,i had the Lenovo S10...the first one,Not that one i choose out for him as thats the second model,But the one i had was solid...no shoddy keyboard keys that were loose,overall solid build quality,sceren was nice and clear and battery life was quite good,although my battery did fail and i had to sent the whole netbook back to ebuyer,which when i had done they then told me it was a dis-continued product and they couldnt replace my netbook so i just had my money back.

But the netbook itself was realy good,Just a shame my battery failed and ebuyer couldnt replace either the netbook or battery for me....but i got a full refund so. :):good:
