Sub $300 HP Netbook

Fresh from my inbox (and our good friends at ecost), I just received and offer for a $289 HP Netbook (refurb). Check the stats here. While new Netbooks are still in the ~$350 - $500 range, I believe we will see sub $200 net-b's by eoy. Certainly as the refurb market starts to crank up (anyone recall the impact of refurb Ipods??), we will see prices to trickle lower.

On a related note, as I am more visible with my net-b, I am receiving more and more comments such as, "hey, how do you like it?" or "I am considering getting one as a desktop replacement, what are your thoughts?" or "How much does one of those run you?" It appears these devices are gaining traction and will only continue to gain marketshare regardless of economic circumstance.











So to all you window shoppers - get in the game! You'll be glad you did.


Movie quote:

"My name is Turkish. Funny name for an Englishman, I know. My parents to be were on the same plane when it crashed. That's how they met. They named me after the name of the plane. Not many people are named after a plane crash. That's Tommy. He tells people he was named after a gun, but I know he was really named after a famous 19th century ballet dancer."
