Cheap Notebook List!

College Life

<p>Some of you may remember my previous thread on the subject, [here[/url</a>]. However, a lot can change in 4 months; prices drop, old models fade, new computers come out, etc…</p>

<p>So I have compiled a better and more recent list. You may find it here:</p>

<p>[url=<a href="http://jaimeastorga2000.blogspot.com/2008/10/list-of-cheap-netbookssubnotebooks.html]Jaime’s"&gt;http://jaimeastorga2000.blogspot.com/2008/10/list-of-cheap-netbookssubnotebooks.html]Jaime’s&lt;/a&gt; Corner: List Of Cheap Netbooks/Subnotebooks](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-computers/531865-list-cheap-sub-web-notebooks.html"]here[/url”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-computers/531865-list-cheap-sub-web-notebooks.html)</p>

<p>I am linking to my blog rather than posting the list directly here for twofold reasons.</p>

<li>This board doesn’t allow images. My list has an image of each laptop on it, linked to an online page where it may be bought.</li>
<li>This board doesn’t allow long term editing of posts. This way, if I add or change something, it will still be on the opening post rather than having to be added to the bottom of the thread.</li>
</ol>

<p>Personally, I think the Eee PC 900HA is one of the best deal on the list. It is a $350, 8.9 Inch dream with 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, Windows XP, & Integrated Webcam.</p>

<p>Thoughts? Opinions?</p>

<p>You seemed to have left off the MSI wind as well as the HP Mini Note</p>

3

<p>My list currently has models up to $400 in price. The cheapest I see HP Mini Note is $430 and the cheapest MSI Wind I can find is $450. I AM thinking of expanding the list to models up to $450 though, in which case both will get included.</p>

<p>EDIT: Nevermind about the Mini Note, I just found a $370 one. Thank you for bringing this to my attention; it will be added shortly.</p>

<p>You forgot an important one:</p>

<p>[Dell</a> Inspiron Mini 9 Details](<a href=“Shop: Dell Site Map of All Products, Solutions & Services | Dell USA”>Shop: Dell Site Map of All Products, Solutions & Services | Dell USA)</p>

<p>That one is pretty interesting, jess0990. I will have to think for a bit about how to make the “build yours” idea fit in my format, though.</p>

6

<p>There’s also the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 that starts at $399</p>

7

<p>Done, the Inspiron Mini 9 and IdeaPad S10 have both been added.</p>

8

<p>also yu might want to change length to screen size…</p>

9

<p>What’s the difference?</p>

10

<p>when I think of length think of the physical size of the whole notebook, not the screen. And screens are measured diagonally.</p>

11

<p>Okay, changed it.</p>

<p>Also, I appreciate the suggestions, but just for a change of pace, did anyone find this list useful or informative?</p>

12

<p>I found the list informative.</p>

<p>Has anyone tried the Acer Aspire One? I found a review that said it was incredibly noisy. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Wow, prices must be plummeting or something… it’s been less than a month and not only have new computers come out, some of the prices I listed are already too high.</p>

<p>I’ll make an update come december, in time for holiday shopping.</p>
