That's not what I meant.
That is just because their cheaper machines have been sold.
I meant that the same machines for which there were selling at a certain price a few weeks ago, are more expensive these days.
Perhaps an MSI U135 may pop up within your price range within a week or so....with a six cell battery if you are lucky.
Easy to upgrade the RAM in those when the time comes.0 -
If it's schoolwork he needs to do, better off with a windows-based netbook or full-blown lappy..........Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple
