At that price range and specs, magdasal kang maging available ulit sa Amazon yung $650 na Toshiba A505-S6973 by the time you decide to buy.  Just add about $100 for shipment by JAC.

I agree with sir ninjababez. kaya nun option number 2 un HD movies. ;D  not recommended nun netbooks for HD movies. may ibang formats hindi maganda un output since limited un resources ng CPU.
