- mythandros, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Behold: the free market at work. Sometimes, you just don't need a gaming level system. Sometimes, all you need is a cheap laptop that gets the job done. Unfortunately, you really can't get anything that's not refurbished for under about $700 or $800 dollars. A $190 laptop sound awesome, even if it's using yesterday's technology.

- wageslaven, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Just for the record, this does indeed run Windows. From the article ", the device is said to be compatible with Windows XP"
