The Toshiba NB205 is one of the best netbooks of 2009 and I also gave it a very favorable review. I also named the newer version the best netbook of CES, so you can be sure this is a pretty dang good deal for a netbook at only $279.95

Asus Eee PC 1001P 11 hours battery life $290.99

I recently reviewed the ASUS Eee PC 1001P and found it to be one of the best netbooks I've reviewed this year! I highly suggest it if you're looking for a budget netbook and at only $290.99 it's a great deal. This price has gone up just a tad from last week's mark, but it's still below the usual $299 average.

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 6 Hours Battery Life $299.99

Specs: Windows 7 Starter, Intel Z530 1.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive (see full specs)

The Dell Mini 10 makes the list again, this time it's just below $300 for the first time at $299.99 which is $100 off retail.
