Which sub £200 10" netbook for the wife's christmas present?

Been going back and forth between a Dell Mini 10v, MSI U100 Wind, Acer Aspire D250, Asus Eee PC 1001, Samsung N130, etc, etc! :confused:

Just looking to upgrade her from her tiny 7" screened Eee PC 701, it's been a great bit of kit, just a little too small unfortunately, advice much appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, but I was initially looking to pay £150'ish, so £200 really is the top of my budget, any more than that and I may as well buy her a £250 laptop!

I think the Acer One is about all there is in that price range.

Good little machine, but there is better out there for just a little more.

Thats a great price, what spec did you get? going to do some searching around the net to get one.

It's the basic N270 model, but it'll still be far more than she needs.

Was £234.99, but I had a 15% discount code, and then there should be 3% Quidco too, so hopefully £200 all in.
