You can get a refurbished 8.9-inch Eee PC for less than you’d spend on wining, dining, and general merrymaking over the weekend. Sellout.Woot! offers the omnipresent netbook for a namby-pamby $159.99 with $5 shipping and a 90-day warranty which almost makes this seem like an impulse buy.
Features:
- 8.9-inch 1024×600 screen
- Linux
- Atom N270 CPU at 1.6GHz
- 1GB of RAM
- 4GB SSD
- “Up to 4 hour” battery life
- 2.2 pounds
Damn you, netbooks. Even I, a self-proclaimed cheapskate, feel a small square-shaped burning sensation near my right buttock. It’s either my wallet or I need to go see a doctor.
