Amazon has the Gateway LT3119U Dual Core 2GB 11.6" Netbook (Nightsky Black) for $300 with free shipping.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 1.20GHz, 2GB, 250GB HDD, 6-cell
11.6" LED-backlit, ATI Radeon X1270, webcam, Windows 7 HP x64
$300
CPU looks to be about the speed of dual core atoms.
Read the reviews on Amazon and be sure you're aware of the battery (heavier, sticks out of back, only 4 hrs, etc).
I got one when MS Store had it for $200, great deal, posting this with it, Amazon reviews are correct, about 4 hrs, batt sticks out the back, etc., nice little unit tho, I like the full size keyboard, PassMark CPU benchmark has it at 674, Intel Atom N550 at 564.
Compare this to the regular $300 Atom netbook, and this can only be considered a good deal. However, the shorter battery life takes away from the netbook appeal...assuming people want a 11.6" machine for mobility. The fact is that the next generation of this class of portable, sporting AMD Fusion technology, can be had for not that much more.
The new Lenovo x120e w/o an OS is going for $300 w/ Coupon and seems to be a better deal w/ the AMD Fusion processor and graphics ...
where can find this new lenovo x120e with coupon? thanks
#6, you can find it on baconeals, juts search for 120e
