Hello first post here, I have been looking to buy a netbook but am a total IT novice when it comes buying new computers!

I have seen the Acer netbooks the aspire 1 but not sure if this is the best one to go for?

I have got a Dell main pc here I share with the family and an Acer Aspire 1353XC laptop which Ive had atbout 4 years I guess? The laptop is really slowing down now,internet connection goes on/off, not sure why. How long do laptops last on average?

Im after a small portable laptop/netbook to use when out and about on trains UK holidays etc, for browsing forums, putting photos on to view, would store on memory stick/SD card. Id stick to the main pc for online shopping/banking.

I dont know much about wifi but am due to upgrade my phone soon so would also get mobile broadband to use with the netbook as there doesnt seem to be much wifi where I live?

Are there any netbooks with built in wifi? Or would I be best with using a dongle?

Did look at iphone but not what Im after and too expensive!

Price wise looking at around the £250 ish mark, would wait for the Jan sales in case of reductions.

Any info/advice would be great, not sure where to start looking really!

Thanks Alison:rolleyes:
