WTB: Netbook for dad

primesuspect

My dad's travelling next month and wants a netbook to upload pictures from his camera and whatnot. He borrowed my MSI Wind last year for a trip and liked it, so he's comfortable with the form factor, etc.

He doesn't want to spend more than $300. If you have a netbook laying around unused or know of a deal, I'm in the market for a $200-$300 netbook for the old man.

Thanks!

Slap a 2-4GB stick in there, and you're in the requested ballpark. This is a great netbook.

Refurbished Aspire Onses sre still like $250 at the all-hallowed Microcenter. I used one for a while. It's good people.

The issue (big issue) is with Atom at the 10.1" screen size you are stuck with 1024x600 resolution, which is like 1024x768 on a 24" monitor, it just sucks

The AMD Fusion netbooks gives you 1280x720 and they WILL play those awesome totally legit 720p movie backups you have

Hi guys, sorry for not responding to the individuals offering deals. My dad decided he wanted something new, not used. Thrax' deal at B&H proved to be the winner in the end.

Thank you for the responses!
