You just missed an Asus Eeepc sale on woot.com.

Refurbished for $150. I went ahead and ordered one.

Shit, I'll give you $151 for it....

Its the older version (non-atom cpu) but I'm sure it'll do for me.

Woot has had them on 3 times in the past two months.

If you dont know Woot sales one item a day. Then there is Woot OFF where they sell as much stuff as possible. (has flashing lights)

Yea I noticed it was a little light but as you said it would work for what I want. I don't know, I can get a MSI Wind for about $300 with a huge HD, dual core 1G DDR, blue tooth, 10" screen, etc...

Once I get mine I'll mod it. People said you can take out the 4gb SSD card and install a 16 SDD card for aroun $50. The ram can be upgraded to a 2gb stick. It also has a SD card slot.


I believe it has 3 usb slots. People have been cracking the thing apart and soldering (with wire) a usb drive to any of the usb ports for it to act like a harddrive. You just cant stick anything into the usb slot (so cover it).

Hmmm...but then when you're done doing all that, didn't you spend almost $300?
