    I’m glad you called her the GF first, before just Sam at least, well you have been away for a while

    Anyhoos.. I cant stand em, but seen an advert for PC World *shudder* for a tiny lil notebook (or whatever there hip name for a laptop is) for £199.. didnt see the spec but it looked rather small and it was the price you said.. I reckon you could get similar (better) online though, also you can get em free with broadband packages, but your impatient and already got yours.. didnt you , huh huh! *prod*

    Netbooks are the small ones. You can pick half decent ones up in most places for under £200. Will give you net access and even play some older games just fine. Nice and small, but they dont have a CD/DVD drive of any kind.

    I am getting the Samsung NC10 after Xmas 🙂

    It is one of the more expensive ones in its class though, plenty of decent cheaper ones around if you dont want to spend that much though.

    ok iv had a proper look and decided i really know fuck all about laptops. the only thing iv found out is that a net book is no good.

    lookin on ebay at laptops at the moment and there s some for about 150 but dunno if they are any good. help please 😕

    it will need to run:

    ITUNES
    INTERNET APPS
    WORD Etc
    MAYBE THE ODD GAME.
    ACT AS A HUB FOR MY 360 IF POSSIBLE

    cheers

    Notebook not good cause of the games bit?

    re hub Q… why dont you hook it up to your Broadband router (that I assume you got from whoever you signed up to) or get the wireless netwok adapter (although when I bought one it wasnt compatible with my router :/ )

    its due to itunes and no cd drive, i could get an external but that brings the price up to around that of a cheap lap top. we were told that itunes might run like shit on a net book as well.

    any suggestions or comments?

    Well I bought a Samsung NC10 Netbook for xmas, I would install itunes but I dont want that software anywhere near it tbh lol. I see no reason why it wouldn’t run it mind you.. does itunes need more than a 1.6GHz cpu and more than 1GB RAM?

    <3 my NC10, plays older games quite well too.
