Hi
I'm looking for a new laptop or smallish 13" or less net book. Could anyone tell me what is currently the most competent. One on today's market.

I will be using it for photos,videos website maintenance and maybe viewing AutoCAD. I will not be gaming on it as I have just sold of my top end i5 rig in an attempt to stop gaming as I spend way to long lost in my ear phones........

But as I'm still a PC enthusiasts I would still like a bit of top end kit that won't tempt me back to gaming on the PC.

After some searching I've seen the msi. U270 which looks good as it is upgradeable to 8gb of ram if needed. But I'm confused as to which of these small processors are best.
Intel's n550 atom
amd e350
Or these amd c30 or c50

Could someone point me in the right direction

Unless you can only spend £250, I'd recommend dropping £500 on a 13" Intel i3 notebook with decent screen.

I like mine for it's portability. It's much faster than a netbook and battery life is very good too.
