I missed the deal when it was only $250. Should I wait or pay $49 more and get this one?

If you need it now get it, there are a whole bunch of new ones announced at CES so like everything else they get cheaper and better.

I wouldn't get the Acer one, but if you must I would go with the Hard drive version and not he ssd version.

I have the hard driver version ... if your just gonna surf around this is a good price. considering its the winxp version... BUT its the 3 cell version... so if bat life is a biggie then maybe the six cell for $380 at amazon is better...

Also the Msi wind gets great reviews .. its $429 at Amazon and has a 10 inch screen.

8 GB SSD??? For a netbook running Windows XP? Does it mean I only have 3 to 2 GB left for storage only?

So this thing "Aspires" to one day growing up and being a real computer? I'm just not buying into the whole SSD hype.

250 for 120 GB not SSD though. Warm deal at best. Plus 16GB SSD is the sweet spot these days

I got this for taking notes in my freaking cramped lecture halls .. its actually really nice. Smaller than most of my text books and weighs lighter too. So if you mainly use comps for office/web-browsing, i must say this isnt a bad choice

Usual poor "bargain" from Ben. A much better deal is to get the 1000HA model from J&R via search.live.com yeilding 7% cashback. Then there's a $40 mail-in rebate on buy.com. Price ends up at around $320 for a much better model than the one here.

Ben, you suck balls.

I have the MSI Wind U100 and am quite happy with it for web browsing, email, and YouTube/Hulu. $349 at Buy, it had a $50 rebate at Christmas but no more.

now i definitely want to buy something other than asus. rma'ed 1000h and they sent me 1000HA. i'm done with those chinese idiots. i might give acer a try. maybe the new 10", not this model.

Im getting the commodore so bite me.

Heh, #12, netbooks are _built_ to go to the commode. That's the peak of my EEE's day, the morning sit'n'read.

Oh, and everybody's homework - go to a real store, and try these systems. The older models are saddled with lousy keyboards and Flash-lagging cpus for the same old $299. Meanwhile, $50-100 more gets you a full size keyboard (major major win), full frame screen, Atom 270+, and a bigger battery.

Also, for the linux models, look to which ones maintain their distros, or use a 99% mainstream build. Asus left no headroom to ever update the EEE 2GB, so they orphaned it. Don't buy the smallest SSD, or you'll get the same.
