The Asus 1005HA-EU1x_BK is also at Buy.com for $250.65 after you put it in the cart. Does anyone own this netbook who would care to give some feedback on it? Consumer Reports gives it a 57 out of 100 but they didn't rate many of the netbooks any higher.

Office Depot still has the MSI™ A6200-021US 15.6" Widescreen Notebook Computer With Intel® Core™ i5-430M Processor With Turbo Boost Technology @ $579

That's 15.6", not 15.4".

Putting in your .2 cents?

What about the Lenovo tablet machines? Although on a little expensive side, does anyone have an opinion on the multi-touch enabled machines?

super awesome post, bump!!

I say that any laptop priced $500 or over which is not powered by a Core i() processor is, by definition, not a "best" deal.

Does this have a shiny or a matte finish anti-glare screen?

I'm pretty sure almost all netbook and notebooks for that matter comes standard with glossy screens now. Matte screens are pretty rare and will usually cost more.

As expected, this is now out of stock. It's was a great deal while it lasted.

Thanks. I should have grabbed one while I had the chance. The next closet price is about $270. Maybe they'll get some more. (doubt it but I can still hope)
