Thread: $200 Tegra Netbooks Soon!

299 USD.... I guess I ought to have guessed that the temptation to jack up the price would be too much for these folks sticking a so-dimm chip with some other chips a keyboard a battery and a display. This topic is now useless. The thing is seriously overpriced for its lack of power outside 720P video. Overhyped and they took advantage of that. Nvidia needs to dump the PR game with these folks and go with a company that is serious about...

Wow I was already hesitant at $200. No way I'd pay $299!

It's basically a Tegra device without the Tegra name, and it's a 2 chip solution, but still,...

I like the sounds of $200 and 10 hours battery life. But Windows CE? Good god man...why not a linux variant of some sort? I am usually all for a version of Windows on netbook/smartbook/wtfeverbook/, but Windows CE just seems like a stupid choice. How about Windows 3.1? DOS 6? I dunno...just seems so limiting to use CE on this unit. Hell, put Android on it.

Windows CE might turn me off a bit, but for 200 bucks and 10 hours battery life, I may buy one.

I knew I waited for a reason. This would be perfect for when I'm on the road and I have to do some office work. My TP has mobile office, but it can't do big spreadsheets or it has Access; and my gaming laptop is too big for me to use on my lap.

I feel ya! Yeah this sounds awesome! Been waiting for something portable to be able to decode HD youtube, Hulu, 360, and such! The most I'd be willing to pay is $300, but thats just me. Ten hours sounds too good to be true! As you can tell by the exclamation marks, Im hella excited for something like this! Good find.

i wish i could do the whole 10" screen thing. there are many times a weak system would work fine, but i just dont like anything less then 12"... i feel that if i really want something that small and portable i'll just buy a touch pro 2 and get over the fact that its huge as a phone... at least its an awesome size for everything else.
