Hi

Im after the cheapest currently available notebook, only thing is that it has to be currently available from the local distributors. I'm willing to pay a tiny bit extra if its worth it. This is only for basic usage, word excel and net only.

Any takers?

Thanks

BTW, it cannot be EOL or No stock as i pretty much want it buy it straight away.

Check local retail stores for any clearance stock.

Perhaps the MSI VR321? More expensive than an EeePC 701, but it's got a 13.3" screen (so it's more like a proper notebook, not a netbook). OnLineComputer have them for ~$400, but if you're buying from a distributor you might get them cheaper.
