I really want a netbook and it's just a matter of time before I get one. I currently see fairly good deals on some older netbooks and refurbished models such as the Acer Aspire Ones. My goal for my netbook is to be able to do basic web surfing and communications and maybe some office products, as well as watch streaming shows.
Question is, should I go ahead and purchase one of these cheaper/older refurbished models? Will it suit my needs? Or are the new 280 atoms with the increase in FSB making enough of a difference to spend extra for one. OR, should I try and keep holding out until intel's G45 chipset comes out? (I've already decided I don't have the patience for nvidia's ion.)
