| 1150309 | 2010-11-07 21:26:00 | I've got an HP Mini 1036TU with XP Home. It's works great! You can get them from NL for around $450-$490 now I think.... | GR8Metal (14133) | ||

| 1150311 | 2010-11-08 01:15:00 | what about this. are manufacturer re-certified ok to buy ? firstin.co.nz Yeah, that spec looks almost exactly the same as mine. Havn't had much epxerience with "re-certified" products but reading the comments, it sounds pretty good to me. Bear in mind that the warranty is only for 6 months compared to 12 months (generally) with a brand new unit. |

| 1150312 | 2010-11-08 03:40:00 | thanks... will investigate further | cowboy stu (7021) | ||
| 1150313 | 2010-11-08 11:36:00 | I would say Asus as they are one of the best for quality. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1150314 | 2010-11-08 21:39:00 | Should have an MSI Wind U100 Black N270 3 cell W7S within the next hour or so and will let you know what I think of it. I know the 6 cell is better. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1150315 | 2010-11-09 09:42:00 | Well I am quite impressed with the MSI Wind so far. Very easy to use keyboard. Just installing PCLinuxOS on it now. |
