I'm looking for a netbook under $200 (if possible) to download photos off my
camera, so running Windows would be great. Not really sure about what are
good models and different places I could buy from? Cheers for any good
tips.

Cheers,
Doug

Off the NET :)


Do some research to start with and see what's available - specification
wise.

There's this one, though it runs Linux and it's screen size is a bit on the
small size... still it's under $200.

http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/smallfish_info.php?products_id=4923

I bought items including a netbook (eeePC with 10" screen, not the one
above) from that site and never had any problems FWIW.

That thing looks like the UbiSurfer I saw in another store for AUD$99,
I wasn't impressed with it looks. The 800x480 display is pretty poor.

Also the 128 MB of RAM + 1gb of Flash makes it fairly useless for my
purposes, but still it was nice to note the price. CofD price seems to
include a Internet service + Cloud storage, not a $100 worth in my
view

Catch of the Day have also been getting rid of 10" HP for $299. 160GB
of hdd, makes it an ideal companion for storage.

For under $100 it's still a reasonable on-the-go device, where did you see
it at that price?

Indeed, for around $300 you can get something pretty reasonable - the $200
budget is a bit limiting IMO.
