If you are talking crappy netbooks. Then correct. Otherwise I disagree. 19inch lcd 100 dollars, keyboard and mouse 15 dollars.
AMD II X2 255 3.1ghz
2 gig DDR3
500gig hd
intergrated graphics
Price: $360 AUD an extra $70-80 for a ati graphics card capable for playing games. Plus 115 for 19 inch Wide screen, keyboard and mouse. Total price $475 for a very decent internet browsing computer. I would recommend 5750 graphics card to be able to play most games to some degree ($106). This is from a store as a complete package.
That will beat all netbooks and crap $500 dollar laptops (usually), if you are American, Costco had some very good laptop prices.
For $680 + 115 you'd get a Sandbridge i5, thats really decent.
Not posting on AT as much because Maki/Steeps gave back some of my forums on GHQ. RIP my decade long blog, my blog even had replies from people who are no longer with us :(.
