CVS is selling Net-books

I stopped in CVS last night and they were selling 7 inch screen Net-books for $99.99. I might buy one but I was wondering. How good do you think they are?

3. We like ours.

I recently picked up an Acer Aspire One 532H for my SO and we love it so far. I got it for around $200 and then upgraded it to two gigs of RAM for another $40 or so. Then I put Windows 7 Ultimate on it and everything is going very well. It's got the N450 Atom processor (which I'd highly recommend over the N270) and a really nice and vibrant 10.1" screen. Applications run fairly well, but I think in time I'd like to swap out its hard drive for a solid state drive. Until then, we're averaging around 6 hours of battery life and there's very little I could do with a regular laptop that I can't do with the nettie.
