If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

Spec me a Netbook Pleeezzzeee

Post by No1Jew »

Loes all

I'm a netbook/laptop virgin so I aint got a clue. I know what I want it to do but the market is sooooo large I was hoping for some info/recomendations from you lot.

Must haves;

Win7
11" Max Screen
HDMI out
Card reader
WebCam
250GbHD minimum
Wi-Fi
And enough grunt to output HD movies to my TV without shitting itself !!

I have seen the Samsung N130 but can only find it with win XP but need Win 7 to network

It will basically be a mini media server which I can use on the go.

Cheers

I just bought a HP/Compaq Mini 311.

Went for this as it has the Nvidia Ion graphics processor which can playback HD video via HDMI, also can be upgraded to 3gb ram

I was also pleasantly surprised it plays HL2 very well, also tested it with Torchlight (Looks and plays great) and Bioshock (Not great, but haven't fettled with settings yet though)

It's on the more expensive end of Netbooks (~£300) and mine came with XP but I plan to upgrade to 7.
