Hello!
First of all, let me say what a great site this is ! Some great information on here!
I’ve just bought the N310 and wondered if someone could help me as I have a few questions.
1) It comes with XP Home. Should I upgrade it to XP Pro. Is there any point ?
I have the CD so will it slow it down? What are your views ?
2) Any must have portable apps people reccomend?
Any tips for a beginner using his netbook much appreciated.
Thankyou.

*Depending on what you’ll be using your N310 for there probably is not much point in upgrading to XP Pro but if you do upgrade it should not have an impact on performance. The differences between Windows XP Home Edition and Professional Edition are explored here.
*For good, and free, applications check out Freddy’s list of (more or less) essential freeware-aps![/list]
Thankyou for your reply.
I just got my N310 yesterday.
I think I will stick with XP Home at the moment.
It seems to do everything I need it to.
