This is the best one that i see for the price.

i know people want 6 cell.. but this is a ssd so it saves power there.

mmm personally i wouldnt get this i was also looking for a netbook and i got the msi wind. i did lots of research on netbooks and scrounged around for good prices and i thought msi's was the best choice. i bought the one in bestbuy america for 350 which came to about 400 canadian with shipping.

the dell doesnt have F keys
no camera
slow 8gb ssd option which doesnt help much with the battery
and 8.9 inch too small for me :S

I don't where you got that exchange rate (summer?)
today:

350.00 USD = 440.296 CAD

1.8" HDD makes it impossible to upgrade. You'll be kicking yourself in the ass down the road when huge 2.5" drives will sell for 60$

I'm not seeing this configuration from the link - is it a refresh issue?

Thanks

This was a "Days of Deals" special for December 8th. It is now expired.

this website http://products.liliputing.com/ basically has all the netbooks worth looking at. the only netbooks i would really recommend are the msi wind, hp mini note, asus 1000h, and the inspirion 9. the hp and dell have very large keys (i tried them out myself :lol:) while msi's and asus's are not as big but still pretty easy to type on. as for that free bag and case that comes with your dell the zipper would be very annoying imo. you should get this very nice sleeve ;) http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15379 no zipper waterproof made from diving suit material

oh and the HDD is a 2.5 incher :)
