i can get the above for £280 (rrp £549 then £350)

 

looking for a replacement for my samsung nc10, been a great netbook but time to move on :teeth:

 

is there a similar or better spec one out there that i should consider :shrug::)

 

yes i know there's ultrabooks but for ultra money, yes i'm a cheapskate :lol:

Well got the netbook yesterday and it's going back :dry:

 

got it out of the box, switched it on, got to the desktop, went to install firefox to be greeted by a BSOD about a page_file in a no paged area or something like that, great start to a BRAND NEW netbook, reboot and got a few more BSOD at random times ?!?!?!?!

 

googled the problem, looks like it's faulty memory and/or faulty memory controller on the motherboard, windows shows 4gb installed but only 1.60gb is usable !!!!! never seen that before in all my years or building and repairing pc/notebook's.

 

also the build quailty leaves something to be desired, definitely not worth the full asking price of £549, some of the finish to the edges of the plastic surround looks more like those knock-off Apad/Epads off eBay :thumbdown::lol:

 

first and last HP product.

 

emailed HP customer support.

 

so my hunt is on again :teeth:

the netbook above was more than enough for my needs if only it worked correctly :lol:

 

like the size of netbooks, don't see the need for anything larger/heavier for taking around with me, tablets for me are just like a giant phone, without the phone part,can't see the point in them imho :blush:

looks very well made judging by the pictures :)

 

my NC10 was a 10.2" so was going for something a little bigger also going for something a little quicker :)
