$199 Netbooks Available from AT&T and CDW
Posted by: Arnold Zafra in 10-inch, Netbook, tags: AT&T, CDWStill looking for that $199 netbook? Well, AT&T and computer retailer CDW might just make your dream come true. CDW is now offering subsidized Acer and HP netbook that even comes with 3G module.
Sounds good right? But that goes out with a catch of course. The thing is, you can get this offer if you agree to be bounded by a 2-year AT&T service plan.
So, with a $199 cash-out to get a netbook, AT&T is practically subsidizing around$150 of your costs for getting the netbook. To offer this promo AT&T will charge you with either a $60 per month LaptopConnect plan which would come with 5GB of data. The thing is, if you exceed this limit you will have to pay 49 cents for each gigabyte of domestic data.
If you’re outside of the U.S. and if you country qualifies, you can also get the subsidized deal for $140 a month 2-year contract with 100MB data and $230 per month with 200MB data. If you exceed this data quota, you will have to pay $19.97 per MB and $20,447 per GB. Now that’s an awful lot of money, right?
What do you think? Sounds like a good package deal?
