Need a cheap netbook...

[Asura]

... but I have quite specific requirements.

I'm currently working on a novel, and I was thinking of getting a cheap laptop so as to make it easier for me to work away from distractions.

I used to have an Asus eee PC, which was an awesome little netbook, but it had a few problems; it ran a Linux distro and had a reduced-size keyboard.

I need a light, cheap laptop for under 50 quid that runs Windows XP (I use yWriter as software, which is only available on Windows) and has a reasonable-sized keyboard (it doesn't need the number pad, just the normal keys need to be the right size).

I suppose essentially what I'm after is a Macbook Air, but much lower spec, runs windows and costs very little.

Can anyone recommend something? I see a lot of netbook-style machines cost peanuts on eBay these days, but if anyone has used one which matches these requirements, I'd be interested to know.

I had an Asus 10.1" screen netbook (can't remember the exact model they released so many) with XP and 2GB ram, loved it, neat nippy machine, sold it on a year back, the keyboard was about 85% of normal size I believe - sure not models with up to a 10.1" screen had full sized keyboards. You may get a full size keyboard on an 11.6" screened netbook, not sure you'll find them that cheaply though, really don't know about prices nowadays or the simple alternative of course is just to buy a cheap one and plug in a USB keyboard and use that maybe not ideal but not doubt much cheaper.

Netbooks are the probably about the one thing I'm fairly clued up on so post if you need help.
