Hiya there folks, so my gf is looking to buy a netbook. Needs to be nothing fancy, enough to surf the internet and some basic office stuff. Now she stumbled across this one clickity (sorry for it being a link to german amazon but the specs are there so that shouldn't be too much a problem). Since I have absolutely no experience whatsoever with netbooks I ask you, the wise and always helpful hive mind that is the Hump, is this thing decent? and is the price ok~ish? As always grateful for any helpful advice

While this thing looks awesome I think it might be a bit outside the price range she's looking at. Gonna ask her what she's willing to pay but I'd think it's somewhere around 300-350€

I thought the transformer is between $300 and $500...

Yeah? 300 USD == 300 EUR remember It is a pretty nifty thing though. Don't know what the dock is like, but the tablet is very nice indeed. Can't help on actual netbooks, I have 0 interest in them Join in on the war on LeoSatan

In this case larger screen actually is not a good thing. She specifically wants a netbook :/
