Netbook / Laptop
Hi Guys,
Just need a couple of pointers.
Gf wants one its just going to be used for facebook, surfing & the odd bit of online banking.
Budget is say £250 ish, any ideas on what to get ? If the netbooks are rubbish then i'll double the budget for a lappy.
TIA

Netbook is all preference. It's the feel for typing and mouse function mostly. Best bet is go to pcworld and hve a play. For women alot of it is looks too. There all very similar. Spent alot of time playing with Asus at work and can't complain.

Hard to say as long as its not graphically demanding I dont see why not. You could go down the route of a top spec netbook with HD screen duel core atom etc but it get pricey
My graphics chip is a intel GMA 950 and I couldnt run COD 4 wouldn’t start on it but ive seen cod 4 running on other net books so if they play that then FM should run great lol have a look at you tube to see games running on various netbooks might give you a better idea

I've got a Compaq 311c 1101sa with 11.6" screen and ION graphics so much better than my previous netbook and all those running Intel integrated rubbish. Runs like a dream and is visually stunning and upgraded to 3gb ram for very little.
Got it here:

Battery is good for 4 hours + too.
I use it much more than my £600 laptop now as i'm that impressed with it.
And yes it will play FM11 although being atom single core (but hyperthreaded so shows as 2 cpu in taskmanager) it will be slow loading as will any single core atom netbook. The graphics on this far surpass anything else netbook wise though.
