    I've got a few from Dell outlet for family etc and they are always fine. They come with a standard warranty too.

    Online is where you need to go. Shop around. Currently looking for myself as my baby has finally keeled over.

    I'm checking hp, toshiba and leaving dell and sony until last.

    Acer might be more for you. it would help if you said what it was for. Different prices for different uses.

    Decent laptop here

    If shop around you might get it 20-30 bucks cheaper.

    Bought one for a family member back end of last week and set it up. Lovely layout, nice screen. Only thing is it doesnt have a volume button which I found strange enough considering the price. So if you dont mind controlling the sound from your the corner of your desktop then he should fit the bill for you.

    Looks the part anyway

    You need something with a decent graphics card, the link I gave has that.

    Also need something that isnt going to hit a brick wall on you in a years time.

    Is the Asus not a 10 inch screen, tried to look but no idea which one you are on about, link would be handy for people to view easier for you.

    I'll stick by the link above, wouldnt have posted only that Ive seen it and set it up, it'll do a good job for you.

    Hope you get sorted.

    I can't paste a link to it because I'm typing this up on a iPhone. I found it in the bargain alert section. It's an asus eeepc 1005ha netbook(sorry I thought it was a laptop)

    Do you think asus are unreliable?

    I don't know anything about Asus whatsoever.

    I also don't know that much about the lower range of laptops on the market.

    I know Samsung are good in the laptop market, their graphics card is one of the best you can get and I think at the price of €450 you'll be getting a decent machine.
