The idea originally was to buy a media streamer for the TV in the bedroom, however looking at most of them and the AAC codex they tend to be a little more pricey in around £60-90 depending on model. Then i had a crazy idea of a netbook with HDMI that i could plug into the TV and get a little portable for surfing the net, emails etc.

Do such things exist, at around the £150-300 mark. Anything apple is out of the question.
 
My Samsung N510 does just that.

It has HDMI output and I plug it into my HD telly in the sitting room.

Thanks to the Nvidia ION graphics chipset it plays 1080p content. I use it to watch blu-rays converted to mkv. Will also play from the blu-ray images I have stored on an external hard drive. Mounted with daemon tools. Powerdvd I use for this.
