    Could anyone give me a review if its worth the 400 euros?

    Not familiar with the AMD Neo core, are they good? Better than SU3500? Can they run low-end games like starcraft? How about 480p/720p mkv movies?

    Specs:

    Looking for a laptop for school usage, just surfing inet, microsoft office, watch some movies and maybe some low end gaming. Is there any other laptops better than this for one the same price? Or is this really worth the 400 for its specs?

    I see no reason why it couldn't run Starcraft etc. Movie resolution has never been a priority of mine. I can't find any reviews either, none that aren't more than 2 paragraphs anyway.

    400 Seems a fair price, compared to other low volt solutions, but at that price you could get a dual core, 2+GB ram and if you go with AMD the graphics would handle old games NO problem. Maybe even one with a bigger battery.

    I was looking for a dual core AMD platform for that price range but couldn't find any. Any suggestions?
