Samsung NC10 or N130.
I have an NC10. £239 from Dixons is a good deal now. N130 is excellent value here: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172831 |
|
By:
Are you happy wuth the NC10? Any criticisms?
|
|
By:
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!!!!!
|
|
By:
OK. Thanks
|
|
By:
also on amazon.
just got one there now http://www.amazon.co.uk |

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.
|
|
By:
Just put it on a usb stick.
|
|
By:
Not obvious to me. Thanks
|
|
By:
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. |
|
By:
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?
|
|
By:
Definitely, yes.
|
|
By:
Plenty of people on here use them for poker.
|
|
By:
That will do then. Thanks guys.Over to Amazon

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 ?
|
|
By:
I've got windows 7 dual booting on mine.
It is faster, yes. |
|
By:
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.
|
|
By:
Mine is blue.
|
|
By:
and pink :p

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?
|
|
By:
All the legal stuff is there isn't it?
Manufacturers websites and that. |
|
By:
nudge nudge it's out there alright
|
|
By:
But what do you need on it, free anti virus and office org.
|
|
By:
Operating systems

can anyone help. thinking of putting firefox on is it any good
|
|
By:
I loaded windows 7 on mine via a usb stick.
|
|
By:
Try firefox alongside IE and see which you prefer. I run both with no apparent problems.
|
|
By:
Firefox is my preferred browser.
I installed my games with a memory stick. |
|
By:
Linux isn't suitable for poker, I could only get stars to work on the OS
|
|
By:
thanks will try
|
|
By:
EGG - was linux the original OS?
|
|
By:
XP
