What do you want to use it for?
Will you travel with it alot, or will it mostly be stationary?
Whats your budget?

I would expect a Super Moderator to provide more details when making a thread

Budget for starters

I'm not overly clued up on the technical stuff tbh but i just bought a 2nd hand Acer laptop on eBay for about £250 or something cant remember exactly

For £300-£400 i would be wanting 2.1GHZ processor or more, 4GB of RAM, and atleast a 250GB hard drive

I would deffo recommend an Acer laptop, i love mine

Someone else will be able to elaborate more though but there's a start

I assume you mean netbook? They are shit, well the old ones are, there are some nice newer ones coming out though.
