seems all the linux machines are snapped up - lots of xp machines

I got the 16 gig version in white for 311 shipped. Almost the same system I had specced out (well, 32 gig.... and no bluetooth built in) for 500.

I want one of these bad. It's so hard to discern when to bite.

I think they are loading more with XP since the Linux ones were returned because the general public just isn't ready yet.

could be - XP is more flexible in some ways

#4, if that was the case there should be more Linux refurbs than XP, no?

well - these may have been linux returns that now are reborn with XP - I think its the same underlying hardware either way.

#7, are you saying that dell re-sells returned machines as new?

I'm not sure but I think there was a very similar deal last week or so [image]

I am waiting for the 5: screen version so I won't be able to see anything.

I just picked up one of these with XP for my wife for X-Mas...she will be very surprised. Got a great deal too...just hope it comes in time

nice price. but i have to go with XP. many apps i use don't port well to linux

or just buy a new one for 99$ at dell.... just have to buy a new studio 15/17 first

This size is just a little too little. Try to get to a place that has them and the 10" ones, and try the keyboards. You'll see quite soon why there are so many returns of otherwise new computers. Biggest keyboard's on the Asus 1000H line, btw.

#12 - ever thought about installing Linux or whatever OS you want on there? Do you need help removing your head from your ass also?

They can run mac OSX on this for christ sake..

People are more likely to return the linux versions, but the people shopping the outlet are more likely to be tech savvy enough to know what they're getting into with the linux versions, so I guess things balance out.

Seems like an excellent price.

I thought I would be in heaven with the new tiny ASUS about eight months ago before all of these competitors came out. It was great on portability but very hard on the eyes and fingers. I went with a used Vaio TX instead and am very happy with that. About the same weight but a REAL computer. It was around a thousand bucks, though.

#8 - "20% off refurbished Inspiron" - so yes, refurbished means "not new".

this would be a good option for your kids, but not everyday use. Might be nice for the occasional surfing while watching tv on the couch. or if you travel and occasionally need a computer, this seems like a great option.

using 10" eee. not hard on the eyes, ok keyboard. HP has the largest buttons, the new 1000 mini. 8.9" is not hard on the eyes either. not sure about the smaller keyboard.
