Title: micro laptop advice needed Post by: Tractor on September 10, 2008, 03:44:47 PM Not sure if they are called micro pcs but i want to buy one of those eepc type things.
I know there has been a thread before about these but there is a lot on the market now. I want one with windows not linux and its just for email,surfing,skype etc. Dell have just launched one and thats the one im thinking of going for at the moment. http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop-inspiron-9?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs&ref=homepg&dgc=EM&cid=22689&lid=530199 (http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop-inspiron-9?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs&ref=homepg&dgc=EM&cid=22689&lid=530199) Cheers Title: Re: micro laptop advice needed Post by: dik9 on September 10, 2008, 05:08:51 PM Have a Packard Bell Easynote XS20

After a bit of research i have found this one, it has a bigger screen ?? Any ideas?? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148379 (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148379) Title: Re: micro laptop advice needed Post by: Grier78 on September 10, 2008, 07:28:15 PM If you wait about a month or so then you can get a Dell Netbook free from Vodaphone as part of a 3G Broadband package.

Otherwise from PC World the Advent 4211 is essentially an MSI Wind but branded as Advent and about £50 cheaper. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/219404 Title: Re: micro laptop advice needed Post by: Bongo on September 11, 2008, 12:31:10 PM I don't really know much about the micro laptops, just seems to me that if you're going to pay £300+ you may as well buy a full size one.
Although I guess you're right about windows - your daughter is bound to want to run some windows only stuff. Grier's right about the advent being a rebadged wind, so that could be a good option for you. |
