Netbooks are one of the most sought after gadgets for Black Friday 2009. The same was true last year. The big difference this year is that Windows 7 netbooks are available now.

This means that on Black Friday retailers will try to get rid of their inventory and XP Netbook very cheap netbooks do not have the latest version of the operating system installed.

I looked back over the Black Friday 2008 netbook offerings and many offers were the $ 299 price. For the money you just a Dell Mini 9, for example, with 8.9-inch display, 512MB RAM, 4GB SSD, under Ubuntu Linux.

This year on Black Friday, I expect much better deals at under $ 200, probably $ hit 150.

I expect that you will find 7 Windows netbook for about $ 250 on Black Friday and Thanksgiving. Windows XP netbooks should be a bargain at $ 150 and possibly some retailers try to sell you a Linux netbook for even under $ 150.
