One of the reason to get a netbook is you can get them for a cheap price without worrying about their performance. Viewing various online stores, you can actually buy netbooks from anywhere between $200 to $500. Athough high-end netbooks that come with higher specs for eye candy features will cost you more, most of us just care about the price especially because the function of netbooks as second computers and for their purpose in light computing tasks.

I suggest that you don’t have to spend $400 or more for a netbook to get decent features on your netbook. There are plenty of netbooks which are under $250 that you give you a good bang for your buck while allowing you to get your work done without suffering any loss in performance. Here are my 10 picks for netbooks under $250.

1. ASUS 8.9" Eee 4GB PC Netbook Computer with Linux. This netbook is priced for $220. It is not recommended for people who prefer Windows XP as the operating system. This netbook is preinstalled with Xandros Linux. It handles light tasks such as browsing and also writing using OpenOffice. It's major disadvantage is its small disk storage capacity. other than that this netbook is sufficient.

2. Sylvania GNET13001 7" Netbook PC. Don't expect the Intel processor on it because its equipped with a 1.2 GHz Via C7-M Processor. It will be a decent netbook because with the price offered you could get a 1 GB RAM and 30 GB Hard Drive. This product has a built in WiFi that is important for internet access.

3. ASUS Eee PC 900 8.9-Inch Netbook is probably a suitable and much better netbook in this price range. It is equipped with an Intel Mobile Processor, 1 GB RAM, 12 GB Solid State Drive, XP Home, 4 Cell Battery. It provides the power of a full-sized laptop in a compact body with a larger 8.9-inch screen. Even with the larger size of the Eee PC 900 when compared to the original Eee PC, the new model weighs just over 2 pounds--perfect for students toting to school or road warriors packing away to Wi-Fi hotspots. And because it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 12 GB of storage), the Eee PC 900 is optimal for weathering rough handling and sharing space in overstuffed bags.

I hope that you could wisely pick your choice and pick the netbook that will be sufficient for your use.
