Samsung NC10 or N130.
I have an NC10. £239 from Dixons is a good deal now.
N130 is excellent value here:

Onboard sound is awful, doesn't bother me.
Touchpad is too small, I use a usb wireless mouse where I can.
Other than that it's great.

NC10 here. Very good if a little slow by todays Core 2 Duo laptop standards. Get the 6 cell battery one. Comes with 1 gig ram, need to buy a 2 gig stick really (only one slot - 2gb max) - nearly 40 quid at the moment!!!!!
also on amazon.
just got one there now

Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious Dobbo, but the Samsung model mentioned doesn't have a disc drive; you need to purchase an external one if you wish to install any software.
Or transfer it all using a memory stick, which isnt difficult plus most software is downloaded.
Disc drives will be obsolete in a few years.

There's rarely any need to install software from a disc anyway.
It's all out there for downloading.

She mainly uses a laptop for poker. Will this do the job?
Plenty of people on here use them for poker.
It would be nice to know if they plan to bring out an NC10 with windows 7 on as then it would go faster, wouldnt it ?
I've got windows 7 dual booting on mine.
It is faster, yes.

We have 2 Acer Aspire Ones. It does everything I need, 1GB RAM is more than enough for windows XP. If you can, buy one with Linux and install XP yourself, you will save £50. Mine cost £144 and my sons cost £220.
They come in Blue, Black or White. I reckon your wife would like the white one; it's the most popular colour amongst women.
Poker runs easily on my netbook although its hard to multi table.
EGG: when you said "it's all out here for the downloading" were you referring to legal software or pirate?
All the legal stuff is there isn't it?
Manufacturers websites and that.
Manufacturers websites and that.
But what do you need on it, free anti virus and office org.

I loaded windows 7 on mine via a usb stick.
Try firefox alongside IE and see which you prefer. I run both with no apparent problems.
Firefox is my preferred browser.
I installed my games with a memory stick.

Linux isn't suitable for poker, I could only get stars to work on the OS
