windows 7 inside?

Somebody is dumping their e-waste.

Quote from rnarco : I agree, with an HDMI it opens up the option of using it to stream Netflix or Amazon to my HDTV. Don't have much use without it, my tablet will probably run better than this.

It will do SD, but forget about any HD streaming.

Got one - an 8 with everything. Hope I like it.

Quote from halogod2 : Get this netbook and install ssd in it. What you think?

It all depends on what you want to do with it, but spend $100 on a netbook and $100 on an SSD? Maybe if you have a left over 16GB or 32GB from some other upgrade, you'd trade down storage for a little speedup. I have an Acer One that I've thought about upgrading, but just don't think the cost/benefit works for me. Chances are there is a better solution to whatever you're trying to do, even if it means spending a little more now.

Quote from hurrpancakes : Unless you are completely desperate for something to get online with, I would suggest saving your money and sparing yourself the agony of using a $100 netbook!

I do agree that they're underpowered for "everyday use" for most people. Just the size and shape determine that, which is the same reason that tablets suck as primary productivity devices, but are good as backups or for folks that have serious weight/space limits when traveling.

Like many things it depends what you're using it for and whether you're willing to tinker with it (bumping the memory or swap that old SSD you replaced on your other computer into it.)

As shipped, you can easily turn a profit on them just printing extra copies of online grocery coupons. For an active couponer, getting just an extra $20 worth of coupons each month would pay for this in less than six months. (Incl tax, etc.) I have a couple I picked up off of Craig's List sitting on a shelf. Slap on TeamViewer, LogMeIn, or some other free remote control software, sit at your main computer, and just copy and paste the coupon links over for extra copies. (Printed to a network printer.)

Other ideas: You can stick a 3G/4G modem on one and use it as a fancy router/hotspot. Stick Spiceworks on it and use it to monitor and manage a clients network. Hook it to your TV with a Logitech T650 touchpad and you've got something better than a Roku. Etc.

For a lot of the above, spending extra money for "better" wouldn't gain you anything but a lighter wallet.

who wants to buy used garbage? this is for you.

A lot of people have unused 64GB SSDs that they've since replaced with larger.

Keep in mind too, Staples recently had 128GB SSD's for $90 BEFORE $25 off $75 coupons (No, no t everyone gets them, but a lot of people do. They send me one or two a month for whatever reason. I use them too!)

I wouldn't suggest these for most folks, but for folks with niche needs that don't care if the netbook is beat up some, you'd maybe get better on CL, but the aggravation and time would be significant.

Quote from sd444 : Bullshit x2. Flash block is required to browse the internet. GPU is complete garbage. Light gaming? A lightweight linux distro is required to make this CPU barely passable.

Yeah well, this owner x1 knows more than your bullshit x2 in terms of actually doing stuff with it considering I own the damn thing, but keep up with the excellent contribution!

It's very underpowered in the area of graphics by today's mainstream standard. It will barely do 720p video with tweaking and will not do 1080p content.
The other big issue is the screen. 1024 X 600 is painful to use to surf the web. Since most web pages are tuned, at least, for 1024X720, you're constantly scrolling around.
All of this and it's much heavier and bulkier than your typical tablet.

Quote : Hook it to your TV with a Logitech T650 touchpad and you've got something better than a Roku. Etc.

Again, it will not do anything more than SD video while streaming.

crappy gpu. don't waste your time. you want atom+ion or some sort of amd brazos, at least. not this.

I have a few extra SSDs, and I don't know what should I do with them. If I buy this netbook, I don't have to spend any extra money for upgrading, but one thing I don't like about this netbook is its cpu.

what's the deal with none of these having an installed OS, but you're provided with a license key?

Dont care what anyone says. I have this, I love it.

Quote from alphaqn69 : what's the deal with none of these having an installed OS, but you're provided with a license key?

Because it's much easier for them to wipe the drive than waste time to install the OS. Just download the DVD image somewhere else and use the license key to install from your bootable USB/external dvd drive.
