Cheap Netbook Deals
We predicted that there would be downward pressure on netbook prices once we saw what was happening in the marketplace. To be more specific netbook sales took off which meant laptop sales suffered. This means we’re seeing cheaper and cheaper laptop offerings. Then there’s the general upgrade by manufacturers to Windows 7 operating systems and to the Intel Atom N450 processors. And all of this is augmented by the intense competition amongst existing players, not to mention the piling onto the bandwagon by non-netbook makers Nokia, Marks & Spencer and Google to name just a few.
Yes yes, I’m getting down to the meat that you really want. Take a look at the cheapest netbook offerings out there. We’ve looked at all models under or just over $300.
