sorted by1. Remove bloatware with PC Decrapifier:
pcdecrapifier.com/dow…oad
2.a. Remove whatever security program they've put on, especially if it's McAfee, using Appremover (or search for the specific removal utility from whichever antivirus vendor is on the PC):
appremover.com/
2.b. Disable Windows Defender otherwise it might conflict with av software:
avira.com/en/…587
3. Install faster av program such as free Avast! antivirus or Antivir depending on your preference
avira.com/en/…rus
avast.com/en-…oad
(follow these instructions to remove the Antivir nag popup http://www.elitekiller.com/files/disable_antivir_nag.htm)
4. Run Startup Lite from Malwarebytes:
malwarebytes.org/sta…php
5. Check for yourself what is set to startup with Windows using Autoruns:
download.cnet.com/Aut…tml
Afterwards you could run services.msc and set to manual services you don't need (lots of guides on the net, particularly blackviper), run crapcleaner (http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim), install extra memory, or run cleanmem (http://www.pcwintech.com/cleanmem) which may or may not do anything.
Comes with years warranty so don't think about it too much jukkie...
It would appear, out of their 1/4 million transactions, that about 1% of feedback is bad, and 1% neutral.
With those legs he'll probably come round and do it all for you
yep i use a similiar route m8 good work
My bad. You're absolutely right. Apologies.
Just been putting it through it's paces to make sure everything works - mine came with a duff battery unfortunately so have got to run it off the mains until they replace it, but to be honest I've had that sort of thing happen with brand new machines, so happy to wait for it, will order an extra GB of RAM in the meantime!
A very VERY hot deal!!!!!
Been trying to order for the last 30 mins but my Paypal account was locked for no good reason. Finally got it sorted and have now ordered.
Hot deal, thanks.
[I hate Paypal though]
But I've really got to resist!!!
the battery lasts more like 4 hours noway you can get 7hours from it!
apart from that its a decent netbook just waiting for my extra 1gb memory for it
That'll be the first thing coming off when I get mine. Ubuntu Netbook Remix will be going on mine.
Wasn't there something about you can contact MS and get a partial refund when you get a prebundled version of Windows but you don't use it? Is that applicable to this netbook?
Don't forget Topcashback with ebay.
You might want to think twice.

Anyone using one of these able to confirm if iPlayer and 4OD stream well enough?
Thanks

The video appears to be for the U100 and not the U135. I've searched around the web and there doesn't appear to much on this subject?
There's a reason why their feedback score is low. I bought a Samsung Camcorder advertised as brand new, unopened packaging etc etc. When I got it it was in a tatty box - opened - camera had handwritten sticker on the LCD screen - charger was missing - leads were loose. Just got the full refund via PayPal.
Buyer beware - Argos Outlet one of the worst !
Although they often don't sell the same goods online as they do instore it's worth popping down to one if it's local to you. Here's where they're located.

There is a code for money off as well.
I'm a happy customer who would definitely buy from them again.
Exactly. I bought an MSI U230 from them, and it arrived quickly in good condition. The network port has since stopped working, and D&J Henry will pick it up & repair it within the week as it is within the warranty period.
Then you have a poor imagination.
It's a great netbook & perfectly adequate for anything you'd want to do on a 10" 1024x600 sized screen.
It can comfortably decode h.264 @ 720p too.
Sorry to self-quote - anyone know?
From the above, i'd say yes it's a 6-cell.
A 3-cell would never last 4 hours regardless of how little it was used.
4 hours from a 6-cell is about right for heavy usage, i'd expect more like 5 hours for light usage along with a few power saving measures.
