My little brother was wanting to get a netbook and ebay had listings for $100 android netbooks. His main use would be facebook and runescape. I was wondering if an android netbook can even run runescape.
 
Solution
The Android operating system does not support Java. Therefore, any games that requires Java will not run on an Android netbook. Such as Runescape.

Huh? Android can run flash no problem. You must be thinking Ipad.... nevertheless you get what you pay for it. I would NEVER recommend to anyone buying something like a laptop for $100. It's a waste of money and you(your brother) will be only disappointed. Rather save a bit more and buy something he can actually use for 2-3 years.

Honestly I wouldn't buy that. It looks cheap and it's uses are really limited. You can get a refurbished netbook for around $200 (search the mayor manufacturer sites like hp, toshiba, dell and others for "refurbished"). These have a decent battery life, warranty and can be used to run other stuff too.
