I bought this netbook in store from Tesco a couple of months ago, and have seen that it is still in store now. It costs £199.99 for the version I purchased which includes Windows XP, and you can also purchase this with the new Windows 7 for £229.99. These are promotional prices and I'm not sure how long they're running for, but you can find these products on either Amazon or Tesco Direct online and compare them to find the best price for you. I actually took the box for a Windows 7 version up the counter I should add, I didn't choose Windows XP. It's what I got, by mistake though, and I decided to just keep it and take it as a sign from above that I should save ...  Read the complete review

I found fairly early on at university that I'm much faster at typing than I am at writing, and so taking my laptop to lectures was an obvious decision, as I could get much more information down in this way. However, the problem with laptops is that they are often bulky and heavy. This was the case for me, at least.

Since then I've learned the lower end notebooks such as this tend to all have the same stuff inside them anyway. So far I have been very pleased with the performance of the notebook. From the time you turn the computer on, it is ready to browse the web in a bout 1 minute. The unit is a little heavier than some of the other notebooks around, but it is still in my opinion a good weight. At a cost of around GBP 200 this model comes with a slightly bigger storage ...  Read the complete review

Well, I must say, for what it cost, this computer has been worth the money. At first I was skeptical about buying an eMachine computer because I had never heard of it, but it is a decent computer. Terrible for playing any graphic intensive games, but what do you expect for the price? Does not come with a lot of RAM or memory, so upgrades on those are almost mandatory. It would be a good first computer or for someone that just wants to surf the Internet. I would not overclock it at all in fear that it might fry to poor thing. I would prefer it more if it had a larger trackpad. I haven't experienced this yet, but other have complained about the battery life and not being ..  Read the complete review
