Recommended netbook?

[Sosaria]

Would like to find out what's the best value-for-money, and reliable netbook out there, based on actual user experience. Or what's the worse type that I should avoid?

 

Intending to get one for primary-level child to type out homework, etc., possibly during the upcoming tech/gadget expo.

pay prolly 200 or so and get a basic laptop..... since it's for child use, and it's not going to be carried around, a basic shld do better than netbook

The latest Netbook CPU is that dual core NT550. I found Netbook cheaper in Malaysia after comparing the prices. Even for Dell, online price for its Netbook is cheaper in Malaysia than in Singapore.

 

I like Lenovo Netbook though.

agree with the others... it won't cost much to purchase a laptop. Afterall netbook is slow in speed and like what Jman888 mentioned, the screen is small and it will strain their eyes...

 

I think the price difference is worth paying coz it's more lasting compared to netbook?

[Deathism]

I think he meant Mac Book Air (MBA)..

but u must know that jman888 is jurrasic.....he needs all the help he can get

Recommend start with PC first. Primary school no need to do notebook/netbook.

 

Later throw the netbook 1 side to go play with friends then you see your money .

Good point. I was thinking of less clutter of desk space, and portability (dad and mum can easily borrow for use... )
