El cheapo net book
 

Guys after an el cheapo netbook, only for surfing net, email, skype etc. ave decent laptop so don't need big storage or gaming speed.
Any recomendations, prefer to keep it sub 500 if I can.

mate, just roll into jb hi-fi or harvey norman and ask for the best they have for 500, your going to get something more than capable for that price..

iPad? bit more than 500 but.

Go the 6 cell battery models and try to grab the Intel N470 1.83 GHz CPU if possible.

Although, my pic personally would be the Dell.

Good price, good value and great battery life.

Ferrari, what benefit does the ipad offer, yes ceratinly looks the part, but no key board might be a pain in the arse. Convince me..... an i'll buy one;).

Bigger/better screen? it's got a touch screen keypad for basic email, etc.

Go have a play with one @ the Apple store or Myer/DJ's in the City. You might be surprised.

ipad. what a piece of junk.

Yeah they are shit.

Sent from my iPad :D

some good information here, now my missus is really confused..... might get away without buying anything.
