Ben's Bargains Serving Fresh Deals 24/7

not bad

In store pickup only and it's sold out everywhere within 100 miles of me.

No 6 cell, no bluetooth. Otherwise ok. Windows 7 Starter is junk anyways, you are better off with XP Home.

My wife got this for me at Target, I like it a lot. It was on sale for $199 and came with a free case. This is good deal too if you have store close by. Office Max had this sucker for $149 yesterday, WOW that was extra good deal ey? I agree windows XP is better for this little sucker. Also, make sure to uninstall google desktop, because it WILL slooooow it down big time.

I bought the last one they had at the local Target last weekend. It has exceeded my expectations.

#5 I'm in the same boat as you. I tried to work the Officemax deal but the $149 price never came. Glad I hedge my bet with the Target deal. 6-cell upgrade may be in my future. So far I'm impressed with this little netbook.

good deal if you can find it still!

I would rather spend my money on a bigger screen and faster (dual core) processor than have to wait for web pages to download and to have to press my nose up to the screen to read the text just to say I got a bargain. Besides, Best Buy has the Compaq one for $179 this week end. Scroll down the page here and look at the Best Buy listing.

#8 wow really? I have no problems browsing, image editing or whatever on my netbook. Then again I am running linux, So windows might be your problem there.


So a faster cpu means faster download speeds? I dont think so. And in the case you mentioned, buy a laptop instead, you cant compare a netbook to a laptop.


Dual boot this with Xp and Linux and you might just have a nice netbook.

Agree with #9. Linux runs really spiffy on these netbooks. Ditch msft.

#8, the benefit of the netbook is size and convenience. If you want more (like a big processor, disk space, optical media, etc, then go get a full laptop. Two different profiles for two different purposes.

This price is a fair price. Not a deal.
