    It's pretty impossible to get a brand new unit within that price range unless is from Amazon.de
    http://www.amazon.de/EeePC-Netbook-Intel-MeeGo-braun/dp/B005FQMB42/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1334817177&sr=1-1

    Delivery is about 7 blips but the main thing is that the unit has a different keyboard layout

    Other than this I can tell you that your best bet is to get a second hand/refurbished netbook from adverts.ie/done deal.ie/eBay etc.

    I have a little asus ee PC 701 which runs linux... doubt you can find them anywhere new anymore but saw one on adverys a couple of weeks back for an asking price of €50. I got it when i was travelling in oz, ont 7" screen but was grand for web browsing, writing emails, watching films etc. I'll prob bring it to the euro's with me for fear my touchpad will get lost/stolen!! So you'd get something like that fairly cheap 2nd hand!

    EDIT: just checked adverys now, one for €119 and one for €200 both used! These guys are having a laugh! think mine was about €119 new!
