woot-900

Sure, it’s not hard to find a netbook with a 10 inch screen, 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, and Windows XP for under $350. But what can you get if you’ve just got $150 burning a hole in yoru pocket? How about a netbook that was top of the line about 12 months ago?

Woot is offering refurbished Asus Eee PC 900 netbooks today. If you’re not familiar with Woot, the site offers one item for sale each day. In other words, if you don’t buy it today, it’ll be gone by tomorrow.

The Eee PC 900 has a 900MHz Intel Celeron processor, an 8.9 inch 1024 x 600 pixel display, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of flash storage. It runs a custom version of Xandros Linux, although it’s perfectly capable of running Windows XP if you happen to have a installation disk handy. It’s not exactly bleeding edge technology. But it is cheap.

thanks Jeremy!

    An ubuntu netbook remix installation could be around 2GB + 8GB SSD card gives you a quite capable computer for trips. And the real screen state is as big as most 10" netbooks (if not bigger).

    Compare that to one of those *new* RazorBook-400 machines for $150 to $180 - - -
    One heck of a deal! Specially for the "kid" (of any age) in the house - since they will
    trash-out anything you give them in a few months anyway.
