I just bought a cheapy NEW Acer emachine netbook for $238 AU with a $39 cash back to bring it back to $199 AU.
You can lookup online what $199 AU is in Euro/Pound Stirling and US $. But in Aussie terms it's "Bugga all".
I got it to do portable email, browsing(Inc Amiga Org). I was hoping to get an Ipad to do the same but it's limitations are too many.
Works fine for online video. But not 720p. (only has 600v). But 720 don't stream very well on cable(10mbit) anyhow.
No DVD drive but who watches DVDs on anything other than a large screen.
The closest Laptop (14" with DVD) is over twice that.
Seems to be steaming along well thankyou.
