Netbook or Laptop for €400 max

Tusky

Looking to pick up a laptop or netbook. It will be used for word docs, web browsing, music, streaming and HDMI out. Possibly some very light gaming but this is not a priority. Being reasonably portable is a bonus as I will need to take it to work occasionally.

Can anyone do better than this @ €375 delivered?

Thanks.

Pros: Faster processor, bigger screen, better battery.

Cons: No HDMI, twice the weight, no USB 3.0 and one less port.

Does that sound about right?

Jarren

Sounds about right

Depends really what you want get out of your machine

If you really don't need it you can always settle for this

What delivery option were you basing this on. I know of Parcelmotel, but if you dont live near Dublin its not much good. Beeing from Donegal,would there be any delivery option from SOL available to me?

Jarren

SOL deliver to Ireland,£10 me thinks.

Better specced Acer from Argos.

Tusky

How does this compare to the smaller Samsung in the OP? Seems the same apart from bigger screen (and cheaper)
