Mooching... in your house
for home browsing, buying a new macbook is just too expensive... which windows variant (including the netbooks) would be best value for money?

would like to spend no more than £200-£250 ideally...
 
daft question then... why would i get an nc10 over an n210 (or n220) for similar money, isn't it a newer, better styled and specced, windows 7 version of the nc10?
 
Right... I got the N210 (appreciate the advice guys but couldn't see why on earth I would buy an older model when the N210 was only a few quid more...)

Anyway, great little machine :) - Gotta admit its still night and day from getting a new mac, it was no less than 45 minutes (!!!) before I was able to use the machine as it wanted to install all sorts of crap!

Was a bit worried about the speed at it was lets say far less than zippy, but once i did a fresh windows 7 install from usb its now nice and fast (no idea why they sell computers like that, its such a bad advertisement!)

Anyway, all happy now :)

(oh, and the residue under the stickers was a bitch to get off... who the hell wants stickers on their nice new netbook?? :D)
 
Fresh Windows 7 install + 2GB of ram + a nice fresh Google Chrome installation and its a completely different system :)

When I use the netbook it makes me seriously doubt the value for money that I got for my iPad :rolleyes:
 
Why would you need ubuntu out of interest? what can it do that W7 can't?

I've only ever thought of linux as something to use as a server, or for very minimalist systems where buying an OS would be overkill...
 
Something I would be interested in hearing back from you new owners is whether your battery life took a dive when you put a fresh W7 on?

Mine is certainly no longer anything like the quoted, maybe 4 hours 5 at max... Is there something I need to be installing maybe? I've put on the main drivers :confused:
