Ultra Portable?

Sash · 29 Jun 2009 at 14:48

Might be looking into getting an ultra portable laptop. I havent looked into lappys since I built my current gaming rig so have been out of the loop for a while price wise.

It would be used for internet browsing since my phone cant view all webpages.

Looking for the cheapest one possible what prices am I looking at?

cheapest thing ive seen:
Disgo Net Browser 3000 / 64MB / 2GB / 7" / Windows CE / Netbook £129.99

Ive got a samsung nc10 which is excellent

You can get a new netbook for £130.

I'd definately say take a look into netbooks. Generally start £150-400, some with linux, others with XP and varying screens etc

About £200-250 will get you a WinXP, 1GB, 160GB HDD job

(no DVD/CDRom in these things though, you'll need to use external drive or mounted ISO/etc images

I think you can get an Acer One for ~£110, which has a 9" screen 8GB SSD and an Atom processor. For around £150 you can get the Acer with the hard disk.

It will be a very basic thing I am looking for basically just an internet browser. I may look into the 9inch ones since 7inchs is a bit too small (isn't that right ladies?)
