hi mycat, can't really help you but didn't want you to go unanswered.

I started a thread the other day on the same subject..I've just ordered a Acer Aspire One 751 netbook from Amazon.co.uk Warehouse Deals.

In fact, I've just checked the order and it hasn't despatched yet, which worries me a bit. I see it's no longer available on the sale page...which either means I've bought the last one ...or I'm going to get an email telling me the order's cancelled .

Never bought from Warehouse deals before but have used Amazon loads.
Never used Ebay. Hope you find something.

I have an Acer Aspire 1 which I like. With netbooks you don't get a CD/DVD drive although you can get external ones but that doesn't bother me. I have had it nearly two years now and still find the battery life pretty good plus it is a good size to take around with me.

I have a Samsung netbook - very happy with it although I upgraded the RAM from 1Gb to 2Gb - its very fast.
