Dear CNET members,

Happy Friday! I hope this newsletter finds everyone well. This week's topic is helping Kim with her decision whether to buy an inexpensive Windows CE Netbook offered on eBay, or just leave it alone.

Well, Kim, you are always in good hands with the CNET community. This week there was plenty of sound advice from our members in regard to your curiosity of these so-called Windows CE Netbooks. After reading through our members' advice, I can sum it up in three words, "Don't do it!" While these "Netbooks" are offered at a very attractive low price, most of the time the price is low for a good reason--low quality with no technical support, at least that's what came to my mind first. But don't take my word for it, there's a laundry list of reasons provided by our members of why you shouldn't buy these--from the limitation of what the device can do to the reason Windows CE is not the right choice for this device. They are all good reads, so pay attention and we hope by the time you get through them you'll have a better understanding of these devices and why you may want to stay clear.

If any member has ever bought a Windows CE Netbook, we'd love to hear what your experience is with the device. We're all ears! Thank you for pitching in. Have a splendid weekend! Read all member contributions to this topic

Cheers!
- Lee
