Bought one for my sister today after trying to find something lightweight and affordable(<$300).
Put an extra 2GB of RAM inside and it will chug along nicely.
Wireless1 have pretty good refurbs as I have personally inspected many laptops in-store. This laptop is manufacturer refurbished by ASUS so you can expect it to be trouble free.
Free delivery on this item sweetened the deal.
Selling for $300+ elsewhere.

I would much rather buy a refurbished Inspiron 14. They are $ 279 delivered, have higher tier quad core processor (N3540) with 2.66ghz burst frequency.
In either case Silvermont is old hat and Braswell (Airmont) is on it's way here, should see some new cheap fanless laptops land possibly by Xmas.
