I’ve read reviews that it won’t let you change the background to a picture (which doesn’t bother me for a netbook) and that you can only run 3 applications at a time, etc…but I don’t mind that, since I’ll pretty much be using it for internet anyway…is it really so limited?
My budget is $400, I cant go any higher, I want a PC that after college I wont sell of give it away. What i’m really looking for is a good PC that can handle older games like Grand Theft Auto San Andreas(Yes I will play games on it on my spare time) and that can play full screen videos without lagging(aka intel atom). Well here are the ones:
Acer Aspire One 721

MSI Wind U210

I hear that there are better netbooks out there like with dual core processors, if there are let me know! What i’m really looking for is a GOOD netbook for the buck.
