go with the dell as has bigger hd. remember that netbooks do not have optical drive so need an external optical drive to make your recovery disks & to load any programs that you don't have on a flash drive or external hd.

Does Dell normally have good refurbished items or are they likely to have a smaller battery charge? I just started looking at the the Acer Aspire One AOD 255. It is 330$, but does have a dual core processor and a 250gb hard drive, do you think it is worth the extra 60$? Also do you know why Dell charges so much for the mini 399$ when it has the same stats as other netbooks that are below 300$.

the refurbs might not be refurbished but returns as did not do what customer wanted so can't be resold as brand new when now 2nd hand. go with the dual core. could be just the name thing with dell & price.
