I suck with computers, but my husband replaced my windows with Ubuntu remix for netbooks (thats Linux) I am in love... my 10 year old can use it like a pro with no instruction.

Lots of stuff are really small, but they have like 128 MB of RAM and a little 400 mHz processor! Come on, the intel Atoms at 1.6 gHz alone are worth extra cash. Usually if the average price for a certain model is low and bostes loads of features, it's probably a safe bet to avoid that because it's made out of tin foil and toothpicks. If you can get a deal though, like refurbs or Ebay for a new or slightly used higher end netbook, jump on it!! Another big downside to 100buck netbooks is hardware.

There is always a price to pay. If it seems to good to be true, it likely is. Those Comcast or Verizon deals are the worst. Yea, you can get a netbook for free, or $50 dollars, etc. But...you're tied into a contract for whatever service they're offering Which will cost you a lot of cash. Yes.
