Need help picking a small laptop/netbook

buy something nice now, and in 6months the price will drop by 40%, by crap now, and it won't be usable in a year....

This is a very true statement. Don't waste your money buying anything used that is old technology, because it will not last long. Spending a little bit more up front to acquire something with newer technology will not only out perform the cheap crap, but it will last longer. The new Intel I-3, I-5, & I-7 PCs work very well and most come with 4 to 6 gig of ram making them very fast in performance.
