• Looking for a $100 netbook.

please tell me there is one that exists.
Um Maybe a used one with cum stains all over.
Don't forget you get what you pay for. Why not save up and get one that will serve you a long time?
As Prismatex mentions, you get what you pay for. If you pay $100 for a netbook you probably shouldn't even expect it to work.
You're not gonna get anything even close to decent for $100. Save up.
You probably can't even get a working netbook for that price. There is a broken MSI Wind on ebay 'buy it now' for $130... Look to save up about $250 for a decent netbook.
Buy one in India
It dosen't exist unless you buy second hand

Although the cheapest I've seen so far is 111$ At least get 50 dollars more. Wait, saw 1 for 102$ Just look on ebay and craigslist, if you look on either one and see a cheap laptop, make sure it isn't a LCD screen, some say what the computer is then at the end it'll say LCD Screen or something like that.
go look on craigslist. or ebay. someplace that could rip you off.
[QUOTE=Unreliable;16480901]go look on craigslist. or ebay. someplace that could rip you off.[/QUOTE] Ebay has buyer reviews and such. A seller receives a rating from each of their customers. If that person has a bad rating, or has people saying "oh he never gave me the item." Then don't buy it. On craigslist the seller has contact information, if you're nervous about buying then ask him for some pictures of something. People usually pick up the item and give the seller the money right then and there.
Asus Eee 701. Fist actual netbook with 7" screen and linux. 140€ I think.
[QUOTE=Anzonix;16481555]Asus Eee 701. Fist actual netbook with 7" screen and linux. 140€ I think.[/QUOTE] I was gonna say that. I think it's still about $200 if you can find them.

Buying a computer from Ebay is stupid. Always. Try Woot.com, Buy.com, and newegg.com and look for specials. To be safe, this is the cheapest thing you should buy: [url]http://www.buy.com/prod/asus-eee-pc-900-netbook-intel-mobile-1gb-16gb-solid-state-drive-ssd-8/q/loc/101/208351997.html[/url]

Strange. I could have sworn it was $240 when I last saw it.

[QUOTE=lemongrapes;16515022][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLPC_XO-1[/url][/QUOTE] [quote]Pricing was set to start at $188 in 2006[citation needed], with a stated goal to reach the $100 mark in 2008[citation needed].

When it truly becomes the $100 laptop.
Oh, okay.
There will be a $100 laptop at Wal Mart as per what I heard on the News and its sole purpose it to browse the internet, with barely any memory or ram, and also a $200 version that is supposed to be able to do something, I'm sure you could run a word processor on it or something maybe. But they do exist, you just can't expect to do much with it.
I've never heard of a new $100 netbook. The key is look around for deals. Find a netbook that Bestbuy has and find it cheaper somewhere else. Use bestbuy's pricematching system to get 10% discount off the lower price. I did this and got a brand New Acer AspireOne AOA150 for $340 after taxes (normally $420 after taxes). It's all about looking around. The thing is, if you do try this, make sure the netbook you're matching is new, they only match prices on new merchandise.
