Advent 4211 Netbook Refurb: £229.99

£239.99 today - I'm wondering what's been refurb'd? They must have had one hell of a stock of refurb'd machines to offer them like this. I've heard lots of horrors about static build up causing start-up problems, trackpad anomolies and the 3-cell battery lasting no more than an hour.

Is it worth investing £240 in one of these? I was considering the AA One with 120GB HDD and 1GB RAM running Linux, but this is about £6 more and runs XP.

I'm very tempted...

No startup problems here, no trackpad problems and no odd battery life either with my old 3 cell or the 6 cell I have now!

I'd pay the extra 6 quid for the inch larger screen personally... the AA One does look sexier, but you pays your money... etc. etc. :lol:

I think you're right Paul.

Does that 6-cell stick out horribly like the extended 6-cell does on the AA One? Or will it slide into one of those slinky neoprene cases ok? I've heard there's a 9-cell on the way too!

It sticks out a bit, but not too much. The 9 cell sticks out a lot, I have one on the way :lol:

Splashed the cash! Found it for £229.99 on the Dixons website rather than PCWorld :lol:
