Does OfficeMax Price Match?

I can't believe OfficeMax pulled the netbook.

1. How much is it? I don't have the ad in front of me. 2. Win7, 3GB RAM,Webcam, and 15.6" Monitor are pretty much industry standard. AMD vs Intel: This is a heated topic but.. AMD will give you more 'bang for your buck' as in processing power. BUT AMD processors generally run hotter and use more battery. INTEL is a higher quality (more optimized) so battery life and heat conservation is maximized. It's like the difference between a Formula One Car and a Nascar. Both are fast - one is meant for cicles, the other for quick turns...

Technically - yes. But the chances of that happening is about 2%.... they want to make sales... not price match

All blackfriday LAPTOPS CAN play flash/java games. Not all blackfriday NETBOOKS can play flash/java games.

Simply, Yes. For wireless in your house you would at the bare minimum need a wireless router and a broadband (Cable, DSL, etc..) connection. That being said, there are ways you can have your desktop "Share" the internet to a wireless router either through a proxy server program or using windows "Share this internet connection" feature. Regardless - a wireless router is needed to use the laptop's wireless internet feature.

I'll update it, thanks!

Fixed. N/G/B - correlates between different WiFi speeds. Wireless N is for all usable means the fastest wireless on the consumer market. However - Wireless G is the most standard wireless speed. Wireless B has been pretty much phased out. Wireless N is back compatible with wireless G and B Wireless G is back compatible with wireless B All the netbooks (except Kmart and Menards's) are basicly fully functional miniature laptops. In comparison - the $150 OfficeMax netbook has as much computing power as my desktop from 2000 has. It has no problem surfing the web, playing simple java games, listing to music, etc...

Okay....So I threw together a quick compilation of all the laptops/netbooks.... Comments are appreciated :) http://troop599.webs.com/2009_Laptop_Netbook_Comparison.xls

Most of these netbooks will have a modem port on them (for dial-up internet) as well as an RJ-45 Ethernet Jack and WiFi (wireless internet if you have a wireless setup at home) Jen8112 - I can make a detailed comparison chart too. I know I've been requesting it but seeing as your'e actually at a real job and I'm just sitting around on campus I can help out if you'd like

We still need a comparison chart. For real...

We need the official Laptop Comparison Chart and Netbook Comparison Chart like last year... Anyone up for the challenge of making it?
