Ok, so I'm looking for a netbook but really need some advice. I'm really restricting myself because I find 10" screens too small, so i'm looking for something about 11.6" or 12.1". I originally thought a netbook would be fine performance wise, but I just don't know. Really, I have pretty basic needs. The most I would be doing would be chrome with lots of tabs, word and spotify open in the background. I have no idea if a standard 1.6ghz atom would suffice for this. I also want the ability to play 720p video's from youtube, so I realise now I really need Ion or a dual core processor right? A bit of trackmania would be awesome too. Anyway a couple of options, so advice would be appreciated. No idea which of these is best, or any other suggestions? Budget is 300, but lower prefered. Please could I have some advice especially on the lenovo s12. Particularly interested in this.
- Lenovo S12 - Intel Atom (N270 1.60 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 512 KB L2 cache), 2GB Ram, 250GB HDD, ION, 12.1" Screen and cheap - 219.99, W7 Premium, HDMI
If this would be powerful enough for my needs above especially with the 2gb ram this would be perfect???? I know with the ion it will be fine for trackmania and youtube HD, I'm just unsure about the atom n270 + 2gb ram. Single core, last generation. Would this work with my 3 apps open?

- HP DM1 - dual core su2300, 2gb ram, 11.6" screen - can't find for under 300 anywhere now.
- Samsung x120 - dual core, 3gb ram, 11.6" screen - can't find anywhere below 295 and not keen on the mouse buttons on side of trackpad.
- dell 11z -249, single core 1.3ghz, 2gm ram (don't think this would do 720p, but might be better than atoms for everyday stuff)
- Asus 1201N / 1215n seem to be the perfect solution, but neither can be bought for under 350.
- At CES last week, Hp released a new DM1 and lenovo the x120e. Both seem perfect, but no details about uk availability or pricing
