Some inexpensive netbooks
Sorry for the lack of news recently. I’ve been busy of course and I also decided to head off to Vegas this past weekend so I’m trying to catch up now. Hard to blog and keep a full time job sometimes!
In any case, this is NetbookTech so let’s talk a bit about netbooks shall we?
Yes netbooks are inexpensive.. but how cheap can they really get? As it turns out – pretty darn cheap! PC Magazine lists three netbooks that can be had for under $400 dollars right now – even one under $300 dollars. The specific systems are the MSI Wind (around $300 dollars from Buy.com), the Acer Aspire One (around $255 from PC Connection), and the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 (around $350 from Amazon.com).
You might think these are “old” systems but they are in fact comparable to current netbooks minus the battery performance. If you’re willing to spend a bit more – go for a system with at least a 6 cell battery. Heck, if you’re willing to spend close to $400 dollars you might as well consider the Asus Eee PC 1000HE with its amazing battery life!
