Maplins are selling these refurbished for a hundred quid, free delivery, mail order only, 3 months warranty. They look like a pretty basic Linux netbook (no idea what version linux), 128mb RAM plus 2gb SSHD, take SD and USB sticks. What you can't do is use an external hard disk, and I suspect the RAM can't be expanded or the OS changed. It's a pretty basic specification but realistically it's probably enough to keep me in touch, and small, cheap and light enough that I won't feel too paranoid if I carry one around.

Anyone know anything against them?

So you know why I'm recommending it, here's an in-depth review. In a nutshell: it's the ideal intersection of small size, battery life, decent screen, and good processor. Assuming you don't mind the pokey keyboard and odd right-shift key placement, it's as near perfect as you can get.

If you're willing to go a bit larger or require a full-sized keyboard, the HP mini 1000 (wot I use right now) is great. But you won't find it for less than £300.
