Well, I'm getting atleast $350 for christmas, and I really want something I use the internet on, and listen to music and stuff. I don't want a phone, or an iPad. (No integrated gfx(intel), if that's possible.)
how about this [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220853[/url] $340, only thing I don't like is Windows 7 starter this one has Windows 7 Home Premium but it's $400, but it has a higher resolution screen and 2GB RAM [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152208[/url]

[QUOTE=Nsybouts;26509626]Just like Jaehead said Try to stay away from ones with Windows 7 Starter because it has Horrible limitations Such as only being able to run 3 programs at once[/QUOTE] To be honest, though, that's also a limitation of the Atoms/Neos/other netbook CPU's. Multitasking is not their thing, unless you get one of the dual core ones and even then it's pretty pathetic. As far as I can tell, you'd be running a Browser, a music player, and maybe an email client at once. Oh, more likely is replacing the email client with Steam. Of course, there might be a couple other programs, but I'd never see myself using more than 3 at once.
