Best Buy

Today we’ve got two netbook bargains from everybody’s favorite mini-laptop makers with names starting with the letter A (at least until someone else decides to enter the field).

First up, Best Buy is offering an Asus Eee PC 1000HEB netbook for $350, which is about $50 off the suggested retail prices, and $25 – $40 less than it typically costs. This model comes with a 10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, a 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, 802.11b/g/n, and Windows XP Home. You can order it for in-store pickup or pay an extra $20 for shipping. Update: It looks like this is an Eee PC 1000HEB, not an Eee PC 1000HE as originally described. What that means is you get the new chiclet-style keyboard found on the Eee PC 1000HE, but the same 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU found on ealier models. It also lacks Bluetooth. No word on whether it has the same 6600mAh battery as the Eee PC 1000H or the 8700mAh battery found in newer Eee PC 1000HE models. It comes with a 6600mAh battery instead of the 8700mAh battery that comes with the Eee PC 1000HE.

If you’re looking for something a bit smaller, TigerDirect is shipping refurbished Acer Aspire One netbooks for $240. This model comes with an 8.9 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel screen, 1GB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive, 802.11b/g WiFi, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, and Windows XP Home. Since this netbook is refurbished, it comes with a limited 3 month warranty, not the 1 year warranty you would expect from most new computers. This deal seems to be for Aspire One models with blue covers, although you may be able to find other colors if you search the TigerDirect web site.
