As the title suggests I'm in the market for a Netbook to replace my aging desktop. My set up served me well but its starting to struggle now. So I've decided on a Netbook I just know nothing about hardware, hopefully someone out there does.

My requirements are not that difficult, the best quality for the cheapest price. So long as it can handle the latest fads in browsing and stuff like iPlayer downloaded programs thats all I really need. I understand they have proper monitor out ports and a load of USB as everything I have is bolt on to my current PC so full size screen, DVD drives and a proper keyboard is all ready here.

The only other thing to add is the OS, I understand they run a cut down version of Windows 7 whats it like? Oh and a Netbook that comes with MS Word would be good.

One final thing, before anyone suggests, no I don't want a laptop. The netbook is smaller and lighter so transport on the bike is better. Its also cheaper than a laptop and when at the end of the day all I really do on my PC now is surf I don't need the latest in fancy graphics and sound.

Your suggestions please and thank you.
