$170 netbook? I haven't been able to find anything reputable-esque on Newegg or Amazon for under $250, so I've been holding out for ARM smartbooks and a price drop.
- ck2 16y agoHence my point I guess, prices only are going up, not down for some weird reason. This is an acer aspire one. I only use it like an hour a month tops but it's nice to have an emergency backup. I'd like to try it with Chrome OS someday.
- swolchok 16y agoI conjecture that the problem is that cutting a $250 netbook to $200 drops the price by 20%, but drops margins by a much greater fraction. For now, it looks like the market will bear $300+ netbooks, so we'll have to wait until more competitors enter.
