    This is a great deal. Beats the Acers, MSI, Asus etc. with a smaller price and brand recognition. If you are looking for a 9" laptop and don't care that this will absolutely NOT do gaming, look no further. This is your baby

    Both RAM and HD sizes are too small to be worthwhile. Reviews show that these things really suffer with less than 1GB of RAM. Also, 4GB HD is really cutting corners. Almost all of the other SSD drives that come in Netbooks are at least 8GB.

    great to see prices are falling, sub $300 would be ideal price for these mini netbooks

    These serve a specific purpose.. not meant to replace your desktop or for gaming purposes. Browsing the net, checking email, writing a paper and possibly music and video on the go.

    Tempting but that HD is way too small ... plug in an 8gb flash drive and you've got 300% the size
