azerbyjam Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 The netbook you have suggested looks as good as anything else but it might be an idea to check out Staples www.staples.co.uk and Comet www.comet.co.uk as they both have a reasonable selection off the shelf. As far as web access is concerned all the major mobile providers offer pay as you go, you have to buy a dongle and then however much data you would need to cover your stay but I guess you could sell that on when you're done.

GrantR Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 If you had a few days i would have advised buying a HP laptop from Misco.co.uk. Personally i hate PC World almost as much as i hate Dell. But short term PC World would do... If you only want internet for 1week, prob cheapest solution would be a pay as you go phone that you can used as a modem, as you wouldn't have a contract for 12monthss etc.... Good Luck and Enjoy your stay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maulermacall@hotmail.com Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 You may get lucky depending on where your staying and wherther your neighbours use security encryption on their wi-fi. Ive been using my neighbours internet for free for months as they have no security settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
