The topic “Netbook Deal of The Day” at Netbooksage.com is a netbook shopping guide to general readers to grab a cheap netbook. Sometimes the information is somewhat delayed by the scheduled post time (6 am EST) each day. And only one netbook deal is selected at Netbooksage.com. Some visitors, however, might want to grab a cheap netbook that not listed in the deal of the day. So, following is the top 10 websites that you have to visit before you place the order for a cheap netbook.
Bing.com (the crazy cashback for ebay.com, HP.com, tigerdirect.com and circuitcity.com makes Bing.com the NO. 1 website to visit)
eBay.com (you can always find low price at eBay.com, with eBay.com/PayPal coupon and Bing.com, the deal could be even sweeter)
Well most netbooks manufacturers are still using Intel Atom N270 as the heart of the netbook, many have already released the new generation netbook with Atom N280 as the processor. The price of the netbooks with Atom N280, however, is much more expensive than the mainstream N270 netbooks ($400 vs. $300).Today I noticed that the netbooks with Intel Atom N280 could be as low as $230 in China.
You would never expect a netbook with Intel Atom N280 sold at $230 but it is true in China. The so called “Shanzai” netbooks offer extremely low prices compared to the major brand manufacturer like Dell or Lenovo ($200 vs. $400!). Especially at Shenzhen where the Shanzai netbooks are very popular, you can easily grab a cheap netbook with decent configuration (with Intel Atom N270, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD et al). While most Shanzai netbook manufacturer are trying to bring down the cost of mainstream N270 based netbooks, the Guobang Xingye Electronic Co. is launching Atom N280 based netbooks with competitive price at about $230! I can guarantee that this is the cheapest netbook with Intel Atom N280 so far.
Basic specs of this netbook:
Intel Atom N280
10.1″ TFT (1024*600) display
1 GB RAM
160 HDD
Wifi
webcam
3-cell Li-Ion Battery
They also offer 2 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD and 6-cell Li-Ion battery as options. There are also many colors to choose from.
Toshiba is a late chaser in the netbook market. But Toshiba is producing the right netbook for consumers. The Toshiba mini NB205 starts from $329.99 with Intel Atom N270 processor. The stylish design, sturdy keyboard, large screen, and long battery life make the new Toshiba mini NB205 stand out. From my point of view, Toshiba makes way better netbook than HP or dell.
Sony VAIO W is the first official netbook launched in July 2009. Priced at $499, it is really a nice netbook. But it comes with only standard netbook features which you can find on MSI, ASUS, or Acer netbooks. Why would you want to pay more money for a similar product?
Here are two things I can imagine:
1. Intel Atom N280 processor
2. 10.1″ 1366×768 resolution LCD screen
Other than that, I can not find any reason to buy a $500 machine which can be replaced by a $300 one.
Lenovo offers the Lenovo S series netbooks. Many people may not know that Lenovo offer a CPP (contractor purchase program) to let customers get a Lenovo product at a lower price (usually about 15% off regular price at lenovo.com). The code for access the Lenovo CPP is familyandfriends. Just use this code for login the CPP and place your order there. For example, the Lenovo S10-2 netbook is about $349 at www.lenovo.com. If you use CPP, the price would be $307.12! That is a $32 saving!
