    this is one of ebays day deals (although this one is longer than a day)
    it is refurbished but comes with a 1 year warranty from Tesco.
    they did have black and white, but now only white.
    www.ebay.co.uk acer A110 netbook

    specs:

    intel 1.6Ghz N270 processor
    windows XP home
    1GB DDR2 RAM
    16GB SSD
    8.9 inch screen
    Mobile intel® 945GSE graphics
    3 USB ports
    webcam and stereo speakers
    and (im guessing) a 3 cell battery for 3 hours of running.
    weighs less than 1kg.

    also it has 2 SD card readers, one of which intergrates as an expansion to the harddrive, potentially adding a further 32gb of storage (or so ive read in various reviews). the other is the standard SD expansion.

    reviews highlight the poor battery life of less than 3 hours of normal use, the lack of blutooth, and the slow SSD, but many remark on its good build quality.


    so if your looking for a small and very cheap netbook for web browsing and light work, this could be well worth £130, but if your need the bluetooth, longer life, or or a fast harddrive, look elsewhere.
