Deal Grabber Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 ANyone have any comment on this computer?Would it be good for my DD 10 to just surf the web on?No downloading or anything like that.
Scott Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 It does have a small screen, but it would be fine for surfing the web. Keep in mind that it has Linux on it, and not windows. The interface will be different from windows, but it is still pretty easy to pick up.
amberc Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 You can get a refurbished Mini 10 with Windows for the same price.

angelic680 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 I would hold off if you can... I think there will be better sales on the Minis once the holidays start getting closer! Then again this is a good deal....
tipstir Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 One deal was for $140 with Windows on it, missed that one.. There is suppose to be one for $120 coming soon. I waiting for that with free shipping. $199 still high so BF day I guess I'll have to wait for..
bdc0765 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I only wish it had an eSATA port on it to hook up and external high speed drive instead of USB
