WINDOWS 7 NETBOOKS starting under $300.

UPDATE: Nick Schulz emails:

I just got a Windows 7 netbook for under $300 and it’s a great product (maker is Asus — the Eee). I am blown away at the damn thing. I have a Windows desktop and an Apple MacBook and a MacBook pro and I’ll probably get the iPad after it comes out — I’m a computer dork — but the netbook is a pretty amazing device. Amidst all the gloom and doom on the economy, the tech sector is still doing amazing things in chips, memory, web, speed, design, ergonomics and beyond. And don’t get me started on phones where there’s so much great stuff going on. Anyway, you know I’m a congenital optimist but there’s a lot to still be geeked about these days.

Indeed.
