I saw this sweet baby while surfingthe Buy.com weekly special sale page today. What a deal! It’s an Asus Eee900C Netbook, selling for $174.99 and includes free shipping! I have one of these, in white, for the kids, and it is a really neat and very sturdy little computer.
Here are the specs:
- The Asus Linux Operating System
- Intel Celeron processor
- 512MB RAM
- 4GB Solid State (SSD) Hard Drive
- Integrated 10/100 Ethernet and integrated wireless
- An SD Memory Card Reader
- 8.9-inch LCD display
- Up to 3 hours battery power!
- 3 USB ports
- etc etc
This is a great little machine for a child or for a traveler. 4GB hard drive is not a lot of space- I recommend you use an SD memory card for extra storage (the Asus will see it as another drive). My little Asus Eee has been running without any problems for almost a year now, and my son loves it. And I don’t have to worry if he’s a little rough with it- these netbooks do not have moving parts- the hard drive is flash memory- so it’s a great computer for a kid to carry around. We use it for homework and when we travel, but my son also loves some of the games. I personally like the typing game that’s on there.
Anyway, you CANNOT beat $175 with the shipping. If you’ve been wanting one of these, here’s your chance!
And I also recommend that you regularly check out Buy.com for their specials. I have found some incredible deals there. And the Buy.com dudes are very cool- their service is bar one! I just love Buy.com. And they love me. 😀 Happy hunting!
Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
