Most mini laptops fall within this range, but the best £250-300 mini laptop is most probably the Asus Eee PC and lower end Samsung NC10 models. The Asus Eee PC 901 and 1000 share many features in common and are the latest main variants on Asustek’s successful Eee PC netbook series. Lower spec and new/refurbished Samsungs are also worth a look.
Alternatively, the higher spec Acer Aspire One models are within this price band, including the new 10 inch model.
