mine just broke need one replacement as emergency . these are spec requirement

15 inch screen
dvd rw
dont mind what o/s
webcam
usb slots
wireless
bluetooth is bonus
i have looked ebuyer, tesco , amazon , acerdirect.
screen size/ battery life not important as it will be used as a desktop

for 300 , I can push to 330 budget i am looking at :
c2d 2gb cpu
3-4gb ram
250gb+ hdd
right

dont need aspire one 8" netbook as i had one but sold it as my eyes went :help: after 10 minutes of looking at such a small screen. I use it for typing alot so again, this is the reason why I need a 15" as it will have a decent size qwerty keyboard

ok i found these
