Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find a Linux netbook in India? My friend would like to buy one, but as we are both eligible for Windows through our institute it doesn't make any sense to buy one with Windows on it already.
 
As per my knowledge (and I don't consider my knowledge as up-to-date), most of the Linux-based version of the netbooks are lacking in configuration (e.g. lesser capacity battery or hard disk or no bluetooth) as compared to windows counterparts. And the difference between them is hardly 1 to 1.5K. So, it may not be worth going for Linux netbooks based on price/performance ratio.

If there is a deal for linux netbook with substantial difference in price, then only it will make sense to opt for it.

There is a "Samsung NetBook ND10" available on Ebay for 18K. This is a DOS version, and will suit your purpose as you intend to install Windows XP on it. With proper coupons you might be able to get it for 17K.
 
Wow, that's actually pretty great dennis_nail. Thanks very much for that. I'll try to see if I can locate the ND10 locally. I wonder if there's an ND20.

Thanks haider_up32, I've told my friend to use the Samsung website to book one as I can't find that model anywhere except there.
 
nc10 is discont. but it still on site as many dealers wud be having the stock....wait for n128 in the market..

Ah I see. But it doesn't seem to have much of a difference from the ND10 except for the battery life. Is there anything else that's substantially different?
 
I don't think, there is even a battery life difference, as both are 6 cell. The only difference i can see is OS, that's it, along with the price tag, obviously.

Btw, here is Sammy ND10
