Any opinions on this Netbook for £209 ...

- looks a decent spec for the price (though I'm bit uneasy about the review comments re battery being bulky)

Otherwise any suggestions welcome if I can get a better spec within budget up to £250 ?

Must have:
Windows 7
a 6-cell battery (and/or at least 6 hours on battery)

Looks good value to me. Win7 starter is very basic, however if all you need is a machine to do some light surfing then this is pretty decent, 6 cell battery too.

I personally have an Acer Aspire One with Linux and Asus EEE 1005HA runing XP. I'm very happy with the latter.

Okay thanks - so what would increasing budget to £300 gain me ?

When I was looking at netbooks, I found the 11.6" screen so much better. I've one of these...

Not the fastest or latest cpu, but the screen and price sold it to me.

I bought a Samsung N210 from Amazon last week and I can't complain in any way. A lot faster than my old Advent netbook and the battery life is unbelievable (I used it for 8 hours of writing on the weekend and there was still life in it).

I'm looking for a netbook for my wife, she's been using my old laptop for her college work but it's old, slow and creaky (not unlike me). I like the look of this one, but perhaps as an owner you can shed some light on this:

optional Bluetooth

is there a different model for the bluetooth version? I can see a need for bluetooth, mainly transferring photos from her camera phone which is a pain with the bit of wire supplied with it.
