If you're in the market for a laptop and don't mind buying refurbished, Newegg has a decent deal on a 14" Asus model you might be interested in. One of today's Shell Shockers is the refurbished Asus 14" Laptop with Intel Core i3-2330M, 4GB RAM and 500GB HD on sale for $344.99. While we're not too keen on buying refurbished ourselves, this is definitely a good option to look into as the price is pretty decent for what you're getting.

The biggest draws here are the size and the price. At 14", this laptop features a second-generation i3 processor, average hard drive space and RAM and around four hours of battery life. Considering higher-end netbooks with less power retail for around this price, we'd say this is a decent option for students who don't need much more than something for word processing, email and web browsing. If you can look past the subpar battery life and its 5.5 pound frame, this is something worth looking into.

The deal is on until the end of the day or while quantities last. Shipping is free.
