[LissieLovettsDeliciousMeatPies]

ok, so we are pretty skint this year and dh is being made redundant after christmas. we wanted to get ds a netbook fo him to do homework on/play lego universe. is it worth it? anything I should look out for? thinking about getting him this whaddya think?

or this

bump

I am sure that a six year old would love a netbook, but netbooks are delicate and six year old boys are not the most careful of creatures. I think that a six year old is better using a desktop PC. If you feel you can afford it then why don't you get the netbook/ laptop for yourself and allow the six year old to use your current PC.

If you are short of money, then I would get your six year old a cheaper and more robust present.

he uses our laptop all the time and isnt really a rough and tumble boy.

Would a netbook be powerful enough to play Lego universe on?
