Speaking of older devices, Newegg is selling a refurbished last-gen Acer C710 Chromebook for just $100.

I bought that Asus notebook/netbook a month ago from Best Buy for $279. It’s a surprisingly good little machine. I was going back-n-forth deciding between the X200MA and the Transformer T100. $100 cheaper, full ports, 500GB harddrive, I couldn’t pass it up. The only downsides… the touchpad is a bit wonky and it lacks bluetooth. But everything else is very nice. Asus hasn’t lost their touch when it comes to netbooks.
I’ve tried to use my Surface 2 for extended editing sessions, but the screen is a bit cramped. The 11.6″ on the Asus hits it well.
I’m not in the market for one but this Asus would be great for a kitchen recipe computer/Youtube player/photo viewer.
A friend has a similar laptop (that was a “deal” at equivalent of $400) and uses it like that plus a little office and web use. Basically tablet price for a computer that can do anything except video editing or games. Pretty cool.
