would any knowledgeable types kindly look at this netbook and tell me...

link here www.dabs.com/products/datawind-ubisurfer-68H2.html?refs=4294952000 ...would DS be able to use it for Club Penguin and online children's games and so on. He likes stick figure games and stuff on cartoon network so no ultra fancy graphics stuff but I wonder whether the spec would cope with even this useage?

Thanks, it was the cheapest I could find and if not then I'll have to let go of the idea.

my DP (certifiable geek-boy ) and I think you'd be absolutely fine with this for the sort of usage you're talking about. DS should be very happy.

The risk with these is they aren't Windows based and there is no guarantee that the flash player will be kept up to date, so flash based games may cause problems in the future. A geek like me would probably be able to find an updated Linux version and sort it out, but it might not be easy. On the other hand it might not be a problem and it's cheap, so it could still be worth a punt?

Thank you both, am still mulling...
