Our Daily Deal: ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook for $299.99

by Terrence O'Brien on April 3, 2009 at 12:26 PM



Every day, the folks over at TechDealDigger are letting us know about some of the best gadget deals they can find, so we're going to pass that information on to you. After all, in these tough economic times, every little bit counts. We may not be buying Swarovski-covered iPods any time soon, but everyone needs essentials like a computer. So, take a look at what the online deals site sent us today.

If you're strapped for cash and need a bare bones computer for e-mailing, word processing and simple Web surfing, netbooks are a great deal. Some of us might find the relatively low-priced Eee PC still a bit too rich for our blood, so you'll be pleased to learn than you can get a 10-inch, Windows XP-equipped Eee PC for $80 off the list price. The Eee 1000HA comes with 1 Gigabyte of memory, a 160 GB hard drive and the standard 1.6 Gigahertz Atom processor. You won't be doing any serious 3D gaming on this rig, but it's perfect for most office tasks, and it's small and light enough to carry around almost anywhere. The netbook is marked down to $349.99 from the list price of $379.99, and a mail-in rebate (good til the end of the month) saves you an additional $50. So, if you've been thinking about a netbook, but were waiting for the best deal possible, today may be the time to make that leap.
