Is the price too cheap for a laptop?
Just find this ASUS Eee PC.

Has Anyone had good experience with this netbook?

It's a pretty weak netbook. It has a Celeron Processor (a very slow one), hence why the price is low. Since you'll already be spending around $200 bucks of your hard earned cash, spend $50 more and get a netbook with an Intel Atom N270 or N280. It's worth it.

Will it be very slow?
i got the EEEpc 900 with 1.6GHz Atom processor for $180 off woot.com couple months ago. even that was slow (couldn't even play youtube vidz) until i upgraded the RAM.

I have the eeePC 900a with the 1.6ghz atom I picked up locally for $125. I spent $90 to buy a 16gb SSD, 16gb SDHC card, 2gb RAM, and a case.
I use this three days a week for college, and it's a dream. I'm an "expert" Linux user, and the eeePC is fully supported by a great community. The 2gb RAM turned out to be a waste under Debian. I've never touched 1gb of usage, let alone the swap file.
From a cold boot, I can hit the power button, input my login credentials, and be at a fully loaded desktop connected to my wireless router in under 30 seconds. It's not a "slow" machine.

or, you could just get this one for $100 more:

"The Compaq Presario CQ60-419WM will be sold for $298 while supplies last. The notebook has 3 GB of memory, a 160 GB hard drive, a CD and DVD drive, and is pre-loaded with Windows Vista. It also has Nvidia GeForce 8200M graphics, and a 2.10GHz AMD Sempron SI-42 processor."
I dunno how you feel about GNU Linux (Asus Eee), but the Compaq runs Windows if that's a consideration.
