You can get a low end laptop with more power and ability for that price or less. I just bought this one. It's a refurbished HP NC6400 core duo 1.83Ghz 2GB ram blue tooth, IR, fingerprint reader. Cost $269. $50 for 2 year warranty total $319 plus shipping. I just can't recommend netbooks. This thing is small and light enough. I guess if you just HAVE to have something that small then go for it.
