    Hi

    Looking for a netbook for my Uncle. Initially thought about tablet but believe that a physical keyboard would be of more use (as well as slightly familiar OS of Windows). It'll be for casual browsing, office type stuff (documents and spreadsheets)...

    Budget about £200.

    Any ideas? I haven't checked the netbook market for some time.

    TIA

    Still very poor atom powered machines I'm afraid!

    Have you considered buying a second hand laptop? I think a base model D630 would be ideal.

    Thanks for the advice. I'll have a look at some laptops over the next few weeks and see how things go :)
