[QUOTE="klmno, post: 373339, member: 3699"] The RS here had a netbook for about 200 but it had no cd capability and something else was missing that is on most laptops- I don't remember what. Then they had a small laptop with the lower grade processor for 358 and one that had a bigger screen and better processor for 399. I'm thinking it still is preferable to get a refurbished laptop for 200-250. It appears the biggest issue with those is not holding a charge in the battery for long, but I can live with needing an outlet. I'm not sure though- I'm obviously not that savvy about this stuff. I can't afford to spend 350+. I would have thought some back to school sales would result in lower prices about now but I haven't heard of any. Walmart, Staples, and RS had about the same thing for the same prices. It has probably been good for me to break up my computer dependency a little but really, it's amazing how much we need them anymore to be able to do things in a feasible and competitive manner. I'm already behind the times because I never had a fax machine at home and have never gotten a cell phone for myself, other than a pre-pay to take on a road-trip vacation some years ago. [/QUOTE]
