Month End Netbook Deals

As we go into the end of February I've included netbook deals below starting with one of the top netbooks according to LaptopMag and myself:

Acer AO532h 8 Hours of Battery Life $299

Specs: Windows 7 Starter, Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive (see full specs)

Note: This netbook rarely drops too much below list price, but even at list it's still a great deal for a new netbook using the Intel Atom N450 processor.

Toshiba Mini NB205 9 Hours of Battery Life $289.95

Specs: Windows 7 Starter, Intel Atom N280 1.66 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive (see full specs)

The Toshiba Mini NB205 is a great netbook from the previous generation that I reviewed favorably. This is the lowest price I've seen it offered for and my assumption is that the model is slowly being phased out as it's only available in two colors now (out of four). In either case, if you prefer to go with a newer generation Toshiba netbook the next one on the list is a great deal for my pick as the best netbook of CES.

Toshiba Mini NB305 11 Hours of Battery Life $386.56

Specs: Windows 7 Starter, Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive (see full specs)

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE 11 Hours of Battery Life $328.71

Specs: Windows 7 Starter, Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive (see full specs)

Finally, you can read some past articles on cheap netbooks, the best netbooks under $300 and if you're looking to get a deal on an older netbook be sure to read my article on the best netbooks of 2009.
