Re: Re: Netbooks, which one to choose?

Thanks Tim.
If you're able to get the model number that would be great, thank you.
I had a quick look and they seem to be based around AMD processors - not a

I know they (neither processor) won't be fast by current standards, but

watch any video on it?

Cheers,
Tim.
