I love the portability of it but it's slow to boot up. If I have to deal with Dell's customer service dept, I will throw it in the trash. These people are foreigners, they don't communicate well, and they don't know the language. Their answer to everything is to dump everything and re-install the OS discs.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[superglide125]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 9:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</guid><description><![CDATA[KNOW the difference....stupid..stupid....stupid..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lynn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 8:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have a Dell 9300 what a piece of ____. has'nt worked right since I bought it.

We got one on 12/23/09 from Best Buy (didnt get the extended warranty b/c we were told we still had 14 days to purchase).  Took it in on 12/27/09 and they basically  told me that b/c the LCD screen was cracked and they offered nothing - no discount on a another one, no replacement etc.... The I called the manufacturer and they offered to send a return label so I can send it all the way to CA.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[WMC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 27th 2009 4:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</guid><description><![CDATA[I love my nv53 for 450.00.

I don't have a degree in psych couch, but if anyone has any pertinent information about the viability of this particular notebook and/or the accuracy of the article, i greatly appreciate it. i'm not looking for cheap so much as i am looking for decent operating computer of value. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cdalealden]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2009 2:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</guid><description><![CDATA[VAIO   FOREVER]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[WWI]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2009 9:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</guid><description><![CDATA[I purchased a toshiba L505D 3GB SDRAM, 250GB HDD...love It!! No complaints at all although if there is anything that I think needs improvements it would be the speaker volume. Other than that this is a great computer and it was under $500. Really couldnt ask for more in a product. <br><br>Very Happy with my Toshiba!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[katetomlinson127]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 29th 2009 1:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hmm, I guess no one has heard about the Asus 1201N?  $500, Dual core Atom 330 has way better scores than the Celeron 743.  Also it has an the Nvidia Ion Chipset. Well I guess even though it is faster, supports more Ram (can we say 64 bit), and has a better GPU, since it has an atom processor, it is technically not a Super Portable Laptop, just a larger awesome netbook.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ki]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 29th 2009 4:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/21/best-portable-computer-under-500/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm on my 3rd Toshiba laptop and I have an Acer netbook. Truthfully, I love the Toshiba most of all because of the 'feel' of the keyboard when typing.  The touch is just right for me and it makes all the difference in the world when typing in a hurry.<br>The netbook from Acer is nice and I don't care about the lack of DVD drive because I never used it anyway.  It's small, light and powerful and although it's a little tricky to type on, I use speech to text a lot--I talk and it typs.  I'll have to look at the Toshiba netbook though as I do love my Toshiba full-size laptop.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[teridavisnewman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 12th 2010 8:25AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
