    256 Agility 4 = $130

    Newegg sent me something by FedEx/USPS. Took exactly 7 days from CA to MA. Fine by me for Free Shipping on a very low value item.

    256 Agility 4 = $130

    No need to remind them of old prejudices. I'm a Brit and I am s-o-o-o tired of Americans talking about bad British food which is based on decades old memories of US Servicemen from WW II. Which reminds me - anyone want to tell me of the glories of American Cuisine?

    256 Crucial M4 = $160

    mSATA is very useful for really tiny boxes based on thin-mITX boards like the Intel DH61AG but also eliminates a 2.5" box in other applications.

    256 Agility 4 = $130

    So Ricochet hasn't had any problems with OCZ drives and after recycling years old rumours about TD rebates actually says he's had good luck with them. Wonder why he didn't write a positive note? ~ $0.50 / gigabyte SSD seems rather good to me.

    OS for ASUS Eee PC 900HA

    OS for ASUS Eee PC 900HA

    Be careful with Hexxeh's versions of Chrome OS (named Lime). Some appear to be buggy. A good one is the archived 12 March 2012 version. I haven't used "Vanilla" ChromeOS. My little Asus only has a Phison (I think) 4GB "SSD drive" & came with Nettop version of Ubuntu 10.1. Slow as molasses. I...

    Phenom II X4 quad-core $49.99 @ Microcenter B&M

    AnonymouseUser: I was merely adding my take to skillyho's post where he ended by saying "Either choice is solid, and the FPS difference in most games between those two chips will be very, very small at default settings. I would say the FX-6100 is perhaps more future proof and may serve you...

    Used Pentium M laptop vs. modern atom / amd for writing/office stuff

    My 2 cents worth - You definitely need a 4:3 aspect ratio. Decent keyboard is another "must have" My Dell D410 with 1.5GB RAM runs Windows 7 Home Basic just fine. You don't need a silly little netbook with fiddly k/b and aspect ratio good only for watching Bruce Willis blow things up.

    Free SSD with select mini barebones

    VirtualLarry: I posted link to side by side comparison. The *only* difference I can see is the White model supposedly supports DDR3-800 (??) and Black one DDR3-1066 (??). You be the judge.

    Intel i3-2100 $90 AR

    Newegg has the i3-2120 for $100.99 (shipped). It is "refurbished" (whatever that means in context of CPU). I reckon the faster clock is worth the extra $11 and no waiting around for rebate. Even if one chooses "no wait" it still takes a few weeks and they deduct $2 or so from rebate amount.

    Lenovo X120e vs X130e?

    Older Dell or HP Laptops are a great buy. Issues like "USB OBDII scanner" don't affect most people. It's all about how much disposable income you have for Toys. Some people consider the latest & greatest TV-like accessory an indispensable part of their life Others prefer to lie on couch...

    Lenovo X120e vs X130e?

    I have 2 laptops. D-430, with a 40GB drive and 2Gb, Windows 7 Home Premium. It's my 'travel' laptop, really thin & light.The screen is great, 1280 x 800 - 12.1". The hard drive, a 'zif' drive, is the tricky thing. You need to be careful getting one if you acquire a D-430 lacking a hard drive...

    Lenovo X120e vs X130e?

    You know what ---- A Dell D-430 can be had for $150. Core 2 Duo U7600 Ok, it's a 1280 x 800 display on a 12.1" screen and so..? It's useful for lots more than watching stupid TV shows

    Lenovo X120e vs X130e?

    Surely you'd avoid the E240, single core. E350 is 1.6Ghz vs E300 1.3GHz. There's almost no difference between E350 & E450. And The Winner is X120e with E350... Unless you wanted to spend more on an X130e with Core i3 (what's the price differential?)

    How do I clean my laptop screen/display?

    LCD/TV screen cleaners, eyeglass solutions etc are all based on Iso-propyl Alcohol sometimes with added coloring agents to make it look "special". About a $1 or $2 for large bottle of 91% at any Pharmacy. "Rubbing Alcohol" is usually 70% but may contains other stuff, best stick with the 91%.

    EEE 1005HAB: Best Response to Battery Life Decline?

    Over what period of time did the battery life shrink from 3 hours to 70 minutes. Was it at 3 hours when you purchased it as a refurb? Did battery life shrink when you upgraded the Ram from Igb to 2gb?

    New small mATX/mini-ITX tower/desktop.

    Further to Zap's recommendation above. This Foxconn H67S mini-ITX is much less costly than the Asrock, has SATA 6GB/s but no USB 3.0 (again I ask, who *really* needs that?)- $55 shipped on Amazon. EDIT - Amazon price is up to around $72 as of end May...

    ECS H61H2-M2 motherboard with HDMI! - $29.99

    Just be aware that sometimes hefty rebates have a 2-tier payment system. Get full rebate in 8 - 10 weeks or cut rebate by $3 and receive it far sooner. I sent in a Gigabyte motherboard $10 rebate and decided to takle $1 less and got $9 in 2 weeks. That said, I'm in! Thanks OP

    This is worth a look http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16856205002 It's totally fanless. CPU is obviously an Athlon II X2 270u, look up specs on cpu-world.com At 2.6" height, the optical drive would be a notebook style. Add 2.5" hard drive (SSD?) and OS and you're likely done for $500...
