Hi,
I'm thinking about getting a fairly low-end netbook (~£150 area), to take with me to hot sandy places where I may just have to hop between places with very little luggage space.
Basically I just want something I can watch films on (dvd drives are around £15 for em), and watch films etc from an external hard drive, and use wireless internet.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to go for/what to avoid?
Most of the ones available on a competitor
seem to come with linux on - which I have never used - is this likely to be an issue, although I'm happy enough installing XP instad...
Any steers appreciated
