I have been doing a bitof research on the above two netbooks and this is what I have come up with:
Review for samsung:
http://www.whatlaptop.co.uk/Yd63q7Fo-WckGQ.html
Review for advent:
http://www.whatlaptop.co.uk/YXdXkJA.html
Anyone got any advice. Looking at getting something simialr for my girlfriend for Christmas on a £300 budget but may stretch to £350 if needed. Think the samsung looks better (better colour options and looks a bit more modern and stylish) and the spec looks very similar.
Opinions and advice welcome

er the specs are identical and i cant be arsed to read the reviews but the only difference in them seems to be asthetic and price so basically which ever you think looks the best and what price your willing to pay.
there both the same things really.

cheers mate
i was a bit confused when looking at the specs as they are identical, and I was under the impression with samsung being such a massive brand that it would be more expensive.
i think she will prefer the looks of the samsung one.
is there anything on the advent one that can justify me paying an extra £50 for? (she doesnt have 3g sim by the way)
cheers

I'm on the Samsung now. Top drawer machine can't fault it. I paid £320 for mine end of December so if its come down to less than £300 I would snap it up.
