has anyone else noticed they have gone up in price lately? got my GF a Mini 10V on a deal for 199 a year ago and can't find anything around that price now. everything seems to be 250+
MSRP has always been about $300 for a basic Atom netbook. You got the Mini 10V on sale I guess. Still not that hard to find netbook sales if you shop around a bit. Maybe easier now that they aren't as sought after, seems like tablets have become the next trendy gadget.
Also corkyg is probably right as well. Consumers have expressed an interest in netbooks with larger screens, more powerful processors, more powerful graphics, etc., which means higher cost. So in that way prices have gone up, new netbooks and subnotebooks with more features have been introduced. But if you want a barebones Atom netbook it will cost you about as much today as it did a couple years ago.
What's the point of those 12.1" Atom slowpokes when a slightly bigger $750...
I guess it depends on what you call a netbook.
The closet I was prepared to get to one is an i3-330UM with an X25-M.
