The Dell Latitude D430 isn’t a netbook by the classic definition but it meet the standard in other ways.  First, it has a 12″ screen typical of netbooks like the Asus 1201N.  Second it doesn’t have a built in drive.  Third it’s priced under $300.  One thing which makes it different a netbook is the processor.  This D430 comes with a Intel Core 2 Duo U7600.  While the U7600 is only clocked at 1.2GHz, it’s dual core which means it will be better when for multitasking.

Here are the rest of the specs:
- Intel Core 2 Duo U7600 1.20 GHz dual-core processor

- 60GB hard drive

- Intel GMA 950 graphics

- 802.11b/g

- 12.1″ screen

- 6 cell battery

- 2GB DDR2 RAM
