Hi I need to buy a budget pc / netbook (a netbook is prefered for portability) with a budget of £300 that is capable of performing these tasks:

Downloading music & movies
Streaming movies via HDMI to my TV
iTunes
Web browsing - Wireless
Light Microsoft Office 2010 use
Emails
Social Networks

I have found this at PC World on offer for £299 (Normal price is £499) would this be capable of performing the tasks I require and or could anyone recomend anything better for the price?
