hi there:

for those who wanna get a new netbook, several Asus dealers and sellers are now sellng brand new EEE PC 900HA at eBay for $350 with free shipping, and you can use MS live search to cut it around $265. This seems a good deal to me since I perfered Win Xp system and a bigger hard drive

and for those who haven't heard about eBay 25% off (% changes all the time from 20% to 30%) through MS live search you can take a look at this

I am so close to actually buying a notebook. If I can just figure out a use for one, the weight and price have made great strides during the last six months. Wow, that Atom CPU is fantastic. Lots of sellers and CashBack still working. Sweet. Now, I still need a reason to buy one. I have several desktops, just don't need a notebook.

all current sellers are in CA, so the tax for us Californians...great deal for everyone else

dealcooler said:I tried live search CashBack, can not see $105 Cash Back. Where to see it?you sounded like an alien from outer space

you've got to so a search for something via windows live search. go to live.com or msn.com and search for something like "zune" or "xbox" or "1080p hdtv" and you should see an option to search for one those products on eBay for 30% off.

make sure you see the 30% off option atop the screen while on eBay, then you'll know you've cookied your search and are eligible. You have to do this search with IE or on firefox with the live search plug in to cookie that search and trigger the savings

good luck

Ordered one for my kid. Tried to stack the 10% eBay sent me. It showed up at first but the next screen it said the code has been used too many times???

Anyway, it's still a good deal when I get Cash Back.

Thanks OP.

I've used several of these at work and can safely say that there is not nearly enough screen for normal every day use. 1024x600 is very low compared to the amount of resolution on today's monitors. I'd highly suggest going to a B&M to try one of these out--web browsing, etc--before purchasing.

I just bought the Aspire One that has the same stuff - 6 cell 160gb etc.
Anyone direct me to a site that puts this netbook head-to-head with the Aspire One with same stuff?
Or tell me the real differences? I am thinking of hawking the Aspire just because the EEE usually gets such good reviews...

I am still hesitating to buy it or not. I personally prefer to buy Lenovo Ideapad S10, which is a little larger (10" screen), and also has a multi-touch function. I saw one Youtube video about Asus EEE 900 with Multi-touch function, but can not see that in specifications. Anyone can confirm Asus eee 900 has multi-touch or not?

Now $245 is really a good price, but the price of these baby notebook seems drop very fast. I remember last year the price of GPS dropped fast before Thanksgiving, maybe this year same thing will happen on these mini notebook?

Oh Don't forget paypal/eBay gets like 11% from every transaction so this is really only -19% to them.
