| 1185759 | 2011-03-13 08:19:00 | From Ascent, nothing. :p All laptops and netbooks in stock are over $500 (cheapest is $576.98 - an Acer :yuck: - and it's pink :yuck: :yuck:). | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1185760 | 2011-03-13 08:21:00 | haha Leave pink alone! I have a pink netbook. The ASUS Eee PC 1000HA Sakura 10". Going to be hard to sell on... | Tasha (16262) | ||
| 1185761 | 2011-03-13 08:21:00 | What about an Asus Eee PC 1001PXD? | QW. (15883) | ||
| 1185762 | 2011-03-13 08:22:00 | You could get one of these: www.dse.co.nz I have an earlier model of this netbook (AOD250), and would highly recommend it. |

| 1185764 | 2011-03-13 08:50:00 | This might make up your mind as what you should be reliability wise: www.pcworld.com Also consider that windows 7 Starter (which is on almost every netbook if not it's usually xp) is extremely limited in functionality. To buy an upgrade or new windows license is $160ish + puts you in the price range of a $700 fully functioning laptop. |

There are ways around that :devil My netbook came with Windows 7 Home Premium anyway, which was good: I wanted Media Centre and Aero :p |

| 1185766 | 2011-03-13 22:56:00 | First In (http://firstin.co.nz/) usually has netbooks under $500, including ASUS. Usually there is a netbook featured once a week or so. | Strommer (42) | ||
