Netbooks

Would your average netbook be able to handle some of the older games about?

I.E. Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, Red Alert 2 etc.

If so I may just consider one.

Well atm, I use my desktop for browsing and music mainly.

Then comes a bit of gaming but nothing too major as I'd rather play on PS3.

Then there's a little Photoshop but I have another PC I can use for that.

So.... I'm thinking of selling my main desktop and downgrading to a netbook as a bit of extra cash would help a lot atm in my jobless state.

Any recommendations on which one to go for then?

Looking at around the £200 mark.

Do you think I could afford the NC10 if I sold my rig on here?

I've always been wary of selling expensive things on eBay just incase I get buttons for them.

Good idea.

O.P.
What's all this Nonsence about games on a netbook
You get a netbook when you need the interwebz but aren't going to game therefore saving power & time in boot up & wear on your gaming hardware & gaining the convenience of a portable wifi usable lappy. That's why I got one anyways.
Also for my campervan ***** trips so I can still stay in touch & bother all you house dwelling nancy boys. +

/Funny mood.

I'm not talking mega games.

Netbooks appeal to me more than laptops due to their size and from what I've heard, are much quieter.

I hate noisy machines.

Oh, and can someone tell me where the charger port is situated?

On my old Advent laptop it was right beside the main vent causing the charger lead to melt around the connection and ultimately broke the charger.
