depends on what you plan on using it for. If all you want is a internet usable typewriter it's fine. But don't expect to be doing much else more than that. |

That's not a "netbook." That's a laptop. Netbooks on average are between 8 - 10 inches viewable screen, some are 11.6 inches... Netbooks have Intel Atom processor (or the AMD variant), as well as no CD drives. This is all to SAVE POWER CONSUMPTION. Usually, most netbooks last 5-9 hours on one battery charge....(most). Not to mention netbooks weigh usually 2- - 2.5 pounds. What he is selling you is a regular laptop. How much is that "Laptop?" If its $250, then that's not too bad of a price.... but dont expect to play anything but CSS on moderate graphics levels... With 2gb of RAM with Vista??? Yikes. I dunno. I wouldn't buy it, but hell, i wouldn't buy a laptop to begin with. |

I tried doing the low budget as well Madv... but just sell a few more dime bags and get the other 200 dollars and get a nice laptop. I'm spending $500 on a laptop that WILL last me 2 years. all I need it for. that's a pretty good investment, considering I'm going to be using it quite a lot... and some hours here and there for school  I thought it would be impossible to make $300 before the end of the first semester, but you have to remember: Freshman are fucking retarded (even though I am also a freshman..) just find something that they are willing to pay way too much for, and sell it for two weeks to make some bills. Worked for me, and I didn't even have to sell drugs. I ripped my books on CD for my classes and burnt DVDs for other kids so they could read the books and do the homework for free. (aside from paying me $20 a cd) Thank god they weren't computer majors cause then I would have been fucked, haha

No, MadV said he was going to buy a netbook until he came across that. At least that's what I hope he meant. Because Netbooks have atom processors. | ||

2GB RAM with Vista will have you screaming at your computer like it was Windows 95 all over again. | ||
