tarting tomorrow May 6th, the Microsoft Store is offering a pretty sweet deal: you can get an ASUS X200-MA touch laptop for only $199! This offer will be available both online and in physical retail stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada and will last for only 1 day (starting 12am PDT May 6th and running until 12am PDT May 7th) or until quantities run out. The ASUS X200-MA will be available in black, blue or white.

Bit late, I think, and I suspect a direct response to the wave of Chromebooks that were announced this morning.

As specs go, its not a high end machine by any means. But its priced well and offers 'more' than a Chromebook, relatively speaking.

- 11.6-inch HD display
- Intel Celeron N2815
- 4GB memory/500GB HDD

That went fast. Never underestimate people wanting cheap stuff, I guess.

I got a white one for the wife. Not a bad little unit, decent panel and a much better trackpad than the two different 11.6 Acers that I have.

Ordered mine at 12:01 A.M. when they first went on sale.

I am a cheap b@st@rd.
