My kids like to go on disney.com & other sites and play their games.
How much computer are we talking that is needed to run those type of games w/out problems?

thanksI'd rather spend the extra $20 for the one at Sam's, probably shorter line and a better chance to get it. Better yet if you have an OM in your area they *might* have one for $150!
I'm not a member of Sam's.
But I'm rethinking the lines at BB. I'm having flashes of Circuit city from 2 years ago.

Ahhh, decisions - decisions!

It'd be ok for very basic sites, but don't expect it to work well for sites reliant on java, flash, or anything like that.
Windows CE is the same OS that many PDAs used to use (such as the Dell Axim). If you ever had one, then you pretty much know what this netbook can do.
IMO, this netbook isn't something I'd buy for my kids. The CPU speed is only 400MHz, so it's going to be *very* slow by todays standards. It might be ok for email, but it's not going to handle web browsing & online games very well, if at all.
There should be much better netbooks to come...
thank you both for your responses.. the search continues. :)

Either people missed it, or initially got excited until they found out what it was. The OS is Windows CE (not XP, Vista, or 7). Some quick research revealed it probably has a mere 2GB SSD drive, and 128MB RAM. Not much of a deal.
But would this notebook be okay for kids to go online with, and play online games?

IDK, i'm kinda Eyeing that 7" delstar notebook for $120.
Anyone know anything about it?

I price-matched a few years ago at WM. They had the few things I needed on the shelves
and had no problems. (it was a slower WM, so maybe that had something to do with it?)
