best netbook for £300 - £400

[JamesUK]

Hi, i have been looking around at netbooks, most i see seem to come with 1gb ram which i find a bit dissapointing, especially in the price range i am looking. i seen this SONY VAIO SVE1112M1EW 11.6" windows 8 Laptop for £399 which looked great apart from when i read reviews on it, the processor in it is on par with a calculator lol

the main things i want is an ok processor, i know it wont be an i5 or i7 in that price range, i would like at least 2gb of ram, 4 would be great. im not to bothered about the graphics, windows 8 would also be nice, although if it hasn't i can always upgrade later. bluetooth would also be nice, but again if it hasn't thats ok.

The screen size can be anything from about 8" - 12"

Or would i be better looking for a decent spec 1gb ram model and then just upgrade the ram myself?

if anyone can help with a decent netbook in this price range, can you please give me some advice?

thanks

james

I've got an Acer V5-171.

Good spec but flimsy build quality.

Have a look at this thread and feel free to ask any questions.

I just picked up a 13.3" Samsung 530 from *no competitors*

Slightly over your budget but Quadcore i5, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD + 16GB SSD, much better than a netbook and very light/thin too
