It's starting to range on rip off though. 350$ is enough for a pretty decent used laptop. Much more powerful than one of these at any rate which is barely powerful enough to run xp at even low speeds. Plus there's the no hard drive bit.
The only thing it has going for it at this point is size, which a lot of people do not find to be a terrific feature.
