    Be sure to read this because it may contain answers to your questions!
    For those getting this as a gift and with the Win7 Starter, remember, changing the desktop wallpaper is restricted (basically you can't do it "easily"). This may be a deal breaker for some, as the Wife/SO/Parent/Child/etc may find it horribly awkward not being able to change their wallpaper.

    Hey -- not sure if this was posted in prior posts... but BB has a combo with printer purchase ($60 off printer) that's pretty slick... Get a Lexmark $99 Wireless printer (currently on sale for $69.99) for $9.99 additional over the $229 netbook purchase .... just tried it in my cart, and it works ....
    Deal getting slicker all the time ... hope I did this Wiki update thing right... sorry if I screwed up.... (BigfootDenny)

    Also another nice little tip for this machine ,format the hdd and do a clean install of the OS of your choice, it comes loaded with alot of crappy bloatware. Then go to synaptics.com upgrade to the latest drivers and then google "synaptics 2 finger scroll" its a small app that runs in the background but opens up more multi touch options to the touchpad like 2 finger tap to right click, and 3 finger scrolling like a mac, reallys helps you navigate around alot faster.

    Will Run OSX!

    Agree, would love to know from where you found out about BB price.

    Great price on both of these machines. Hmm...Is $50 worth Win7 and the larger drive? Probably. But to get a netbook for sub $250 is very attractive.

    With the Atom Processor I wouldn't run even Windows 7 starter on it. The O/S even at it's minimal state requires at least 500-600 megs of memory. That doesn't leave a lot of room for any apps.

    While I like 7 on a laptop/desktop it is still more of a memory hog than XP.

    Windows 7 ran like a champ on my Dell Mini 9 with 512MB of RAM. The only reason I went back to XP (TinyXP) is because I only have 8GB of HD space.
