Our Daily Deal: 9-Inch MSI Netbook for $194.99

by Tom Samiljan on May 12, 2009 at 08:10 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.

In case you haven't notice, laptops are getting really inexpensive. And netbooks, those li'l mini laptops that are fine for most basic computer tasks (Web surfing, e-mailing, photo organizing, music and the like), are the most affordable of them all. But even we were surprised to see this deal -- a 9-inch MSI Wind U90 netbook for just $194.99 (including free shipping). It runs Linux, which is actually faster on these laptops than Windows XP or Vista, and includes a built-in Webcam, built-in Wi-Fi, and an 80-gigabyte (GB) hard drive.

Watch this space for new tech deals. [From: TechDealDigger]
