Im thinking of getting this netbook. http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/551635/ACER-ACER-AOA150-BW/tab/accessories

But im not too sure.

I have asked some people and say there are good for what i neeed.

All i really need it for is doing my homework. Eg, MS Word,excel,publishes all of that.
Browsing the web
listning to music
MSN messenger
FP forums
And youtube


is it right for me?

Too be honest yeah it looks good for that stuff, i just think , tou said you don't need it but, i wound't play FP on here, search the forums is ok, but not to accually play the game, plus it mite run slow after a while, p.s if its wireless get BT

but don't take my adive im not that good with them!

The biggest factor at that price level is how important the size of the thing is to you.

Netbooks can get pretty uncomfortable if you're doing a lot of typing etc, and you could end up scrolling a lot when using spreadsheets.

For a similar price you can get a 14" laptop like this :


Which will give you more power and screen space but will of course be much more bulky to carry around.

It's worth getting to a shop somewhere to try out a few options before buying.

I tryed this one at comet. It seemed pretty good for my needs. it has a webcam on. but the one i tried in the shop had vista on it. should i keep it with xp or vista?

Plus i dont really use sprerdsheet that much. its more MS word.

I head somewhere you can only have one programe open at one time? is this ture?

im not sure ill find out or you

Acratch the other netbook. i remember trying this is in comet down the road from me. http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/507903/TOSHIBA-NB100-11R/tab/specification

it was great when i tried itout, and just looking at the review it looks just right for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFOj9pB3X9g

I had a netbook for a few hours and sent it back, it didnt even have a disk drive :/ Dell Insipron that was, I sent it back and bought a Sony Vaio Laptop instead, much better

That's the worst thing about them. Plus the keys are a little small for me, as I like to type a lot... And FAST without making mistakes (I end up keyboard mashing, so big keys are essential for me)
