Nice one, almost bought one of those when I replaced the wife's lappy but ended up going for the ASUS EEE PC 901 as I wanted to see how good the Solid State memory was - ideal for loggin like you say and approx 6hrs battery life!

Yeh, the Mrs carries hers round in her handbag!  Came in handy on the M5 once when it was closed a couple of weeks ago - Netbook + 3G USB modem + Google Maps got us round it :)

As the software is free to download for VCDS(Vag Com) you just need the cable, I'd be happy to post mine to you Gaz (as long as you post it back when you are done lol!)  if you wanted it for a few weeks unless you really want to buy your own?  :smiley:

well, you can get from Tescos, if you look online they have the lower spec one for £199, if you want XP and 120gb hard drive version (it actually reports to be 160gb too on mine) they are about £260, i got mine from John Lewis as it was on undersale and i got discount too, its perfect for a spot of web browsing and vag com as well as internet on the go (with wifi), it doesnt have a cd drive but has a mulit card reader so not an issue for me, dont expect a power house and you won go wrong imo
