    I saw that too. At Best Buy you can get an EEE 8.9" screen, XP, 16GB SSD, with multitouch and a Celeron 353 For $280

    It has more RAM and XP which is better, but the CPU is worse.

    I was looking at this deal. It's so cheap at $249, but is it really worth it?

    What do you guys think?

    Celeron is worse as it even is a 900MHz CPU against the 1600MHz the Atom has.
