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
Great little netbook, fast CPU compared to the Atom, but batt life is only 4 - 4.5 hrs. Got one from Microsoft when they had it for $200, great deal. Been using since I got it 4 months ago, no probs, glossy top is fingerprint magnet, 3 USBs, webcam, multi-touch pad, keyboard is full size chiclet style, read that it could take a 4GB stick, pauses some when I played the Tron HD trailer on Youtube, 6 cell battery does stick out in the back not flush like the pic, there is a 9 cell out there, footprint is a tad bigger than 8.5"x11", solid build - very little flex, LED backlight gets pretty bright, bottom gets warm but not hot, it does have 802.11n, no bluetooth, no HDMI, no optical disk, no eSATA. Would I pay $300 for it? Probably not.
#1. Great review. Thanks for the feedback!
If you're looking for Atom competition look at a machine with AMD Brazos in it. Beats just about anything else in the market right now.
