Am planning to purchase an ultra-VFM Netbook for very basic computing on the move. Need a Netbook with an OS pre-installed & can be used simply by opening the packaging - never installed any OS on a lappie before and don't want to do it for the first time now - want to play it safe.
Please help me select one
Budget:
No more than Rs. 16,500
Requirement
1. Win OS pre-installed [XP, Vista or even 7 [if possible]]
2. Webcam
3. Largest possible screen
4. Wi-fi & all possible connectivity
Forseeable genuine Activities
1. Internet through Wi-fi in College
2. Edit Word/Excel/Powerpoint documents using Open Office
3. Edit AutoCAD drawings
Possible Netbook choices - Those highlighted in Red & bolded - I am tending to like it
Simmtronics® Simmbook [Says it supports Win XPbut does not mention if it comes pre-installed, but at the same time says it will give a 1-year K7 AV license free?!]
Samsung N120
Samsung N140-14B
Samsung N140-14R
Samsung NP-N150
Samsung N310
Acer Aspire One D250
Lenovo S10-2
Jetway Ecomo 100W
HP Mini 110-1104VU
HP Mini 210
iBall LilBook 1017 probably does not have an OS - got to verify
iBall LilBook 1026 probably does not have an OS - got to verify
ASUS Eee PC 1005HA [Does not mention anyhing about Ethernet connectivity - please verify]
Asus Eee PC 1001HA [product not mentioned in Asus's official site :¬]
Am also tempted to buy a Champion Slim 13160 13" Netbook.
For a price of Rs. 17000, I get a 13.1" screeen [almost all specs tend to be the same.]. However it is said to have a very poor build quality.
Considering that I will be carrying it to college in my bag that I don't carry very carefully & the Netbook could possibly also be used by others who are also not careful with things should I consider buying it.
I also dont want to get held up because of a non-functioing Netbook. It is a little out of my budget & apparently does not have a very good build quality but I get a 13.1" screen.
Please advice
TIA
P.S: Am planning to place an oder for this within the day or max Friday for early
delivery.
