Howdy,

Finally convinced my Dad to get my Mum a Netbook for her birthday this Sunday.

I haven't really got a clue which one. Needs to be < £200. Linux/XP, really don't care. If I can get XP for a little more then I suppose it would be better but in the end it's a netbook so linux will be fine.

I see some with a SSD and some with a 160gb HDD. Isn't the obvious choice the 160? Or is SSD really really fast?

Anyway it doesn't matter if its small etc. My Mum uses the pc about 4 hours a day on eBay. However the PC is full of spyware and crap from my sister so replacing this with something only my mum can use would be awesome (sister has her own laptop).

So fire away people! :D
 
my girlfriends acer one is pretty decent, it can be a little slow compared to my laptop though but its a 2.2Ghz 2GB Ram 250GB hdd. so its no slouch :).

Hope your folks like the acer one :)
oh we got a normal hdd blue acer one from the purple place for £200 notes. it was linux however...
