    Windows CE != Windows.

    This will prove an expensive paperweight almost immediately.

    You can get far better deals for tablet (+bluetooth keyboard) for just a few dollars more that will do a hell of a lot more than an 8 year old operating system.

  • Ouch that is really old school, but at that price it might be just the thing for someone not needing performance. Still at 7 inches my fat fingers could hardly type on that keyboard.

    • The screen is 7". The bezel appears to be an extra 2-3" so its probably not that bad for typing. I still think its a horrible deal and far to expensive for something that really would provide almost no functionality.

    It's Windows CE rather than a desktop version of Windows so you can't run standard Windows apps. It also has a CPU VIA 8650 normally found in very low end Android Tablets so everything will be slow. Personally I'd stay well away from it.

    I wouldn't think people would buy these, at all, but they keep popping up everywhere, so at least a few people must be fooled into buying 'em :P
    VIA 8650 800mhz, so the same cheap and nasty processor that's in all the first gen chipadroids, plus a pirated copy of win ce 6?
    Countless people have bought these thinking they can just slap whatever software and games on them not realising that it's not 2006 anymore, and that it sucked back then too >.>
    Urgh.

  • Wonder if win 8 will run on it |-) lol

      It more likely to Run Away instead of Run on it

    I girl I used to work with bought one of these about 2 years ago for the same price. Even then I'd say she was ripped off. Not only is it slow - not all the drivers were installed, and it was hard to find them.

    Not worth it in my opinion.

    you can get a china made smart phone at that price and it runs faster and has more features than this netbook.

  • Hardly worth it.

    Full QWERTY Keyboard

    OMG !!!

  • i rather buy a smartphone

    I did think that this deal was a dud when I saw it, but I thought, maybe somebody might be looking for something like this and posted it anyway. Never thought the hate on this would be this universal…

    you could use it to wedge doors open.

    Just saw this at SUREdeal. What do you guys think? Is this any good?

    Post it on the forum next time if you don't know whether it's a deal or not.

    • Thanks for the tip, Ace. Will do that next time.

    Wish there was an Ozbargain extension to let people visiting Suredeal, COTD etc know what a dud these deals are.

    Utterly misleading and unconscionable conduct on Suredeal's part.

  • why would anyone get a netbook these days when tablets are the same price and usually with better spec / features..

    • The only reason I can think of if someone types so much that they cannot do without a physical keyboard…

    • Tablets (at least android) can't open embedded pdfs which one of my uni courses uses so I have a netbook for that. Though maybe ubuntu-arm on a tablet might work. Oh and this computer doesn't count as a netbook, it's a glorified paper weight.

  • Maybe you could install Windows 98 on it?

  • no hdd? lol
    pretty low spec

  • Well I have been looking for a new frisbee

  • Can this junk actually keep up with WPS? The 1st gen eeePc will be much better than this junk

  • This is just useless junk, I am surprised that there is even stock of this rubbish !! It's basically useless in 2012. And to add a $99 price tag is just there to scam people who don't know what they're buying. Sure Deal are a joke.
