Best 'cheap' notebook

Can get an EEE PC for R2143: http://www.prophecy.co.za/asus-700w-intel-celeron-512mb-ddr2-p-51530.html

Hmm ok. Prophecy says its got a 20gig solid state drive. Asus says its got 2gigs. So... Typo on prophecies side?

Oh hell yeah, I'm pretty sure it should be 2gb. A 20GB solid state hdd alone will cost around R1000 so it definitely can't be right

Yeah I'm busy chatting with them now. Its definitely 2 gig. But it seems they might be discontinued. Damn. Bit small HDD though. I might just have to stop being such a miser and buy a decent netbook.
