Netbooks for novice writers

by Lucy Reynolds

I am looking to buy a netbook for more portable writing- my current system is pen and paper and lots of mess! I am not sure which is the best one and what kind of programs would be good for a novice writer?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Lucy Reynolds

Hi Lucy,

It all depends on your budget but you can pick up a system that would aid your writing for under £300.

Personally I would take a look at some of the Samsung or Toshiba Netbooks, they should be fast enough for general web browsing and word processing and top many of the charts as being the best built and best performers.

Software wise, you should take a look at Open Office. It's free and have many features that are like Microsoft Word without the Microsoft price tag.
