Best selling netbooks of May

This month's best selling netbook is again the Toshiba Mini NB305-N410 priced at $328 (this time in Brown instead of Blue though). I reviewed the Toshiba Mini NB300 earlier and loved it. The only difference is that this unit has Windows 7 and a larger hard drive. At $328 the netbook is over $70 off it's regular price so it's easy to see how it made the bestsellers list this month:

The bestselling netbooks that are in bold text listed above are at prices much lower than I've seen them before (sometimes the lowest price they've ever been). So if you want to check out the bolded netbooks for some ideas on what to buy they're all at great prices now. The best example of this is this month's bestseller: Toshiba Mini NB305-N410 at $328. Last month $355 was a great price when it was the bestseller, but now this month it's at an even lower price of $328 (off the list price of $399). Toshiba continues to claim top spots on the bestseller list along with ASUS who has almost always dominated the bestseller list. The Samsung N150 is also a great deal at $279.99.

If you're looking for the least expensive next generation netbook, I put together a list of the new cheap netbooks under $300. These netbooks include the Intel Atom N450 processor which offers improved battery life and a minor performance boost. I've also outlined the best netbooks of 2009 which is a great resource if you're looking to save money by going with an older model. As always I'm available for help if you have any questions so feel free to contact me if you still need help deciding what netbook to buy.
