[dankbud]

i think its WAAY worth it if u want to get wireless internet.... even tho i get wireless free with a wifi adapter. but ya get the best laptop lol i think its a AWESOME deal IF the laptop is very expensive on regular retail

[pianomansas]

ya no

[xKris2009x]

Here is a better deal if you NEED mobile broadband. Use your phone's mobile broadband and tether it with your netbook. You can do it through usb or bluetooth.

[Bibble85]

The deal wasn't meant for everyone. I know we sold ours as soon as the door opened that day. Pretty big "rip off"

[wanaplayrough]

you could buy an Alienware laptop

[wizzards101]

thats bull thay just whant yor money

[CMPlive]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[wizzards101]

thx for replying

[thefsxflyer]

Good deal if you need to renew your internet...

[CMPlive]

True...

[wizzards101]

and your willing to spend a fourtion at it

[drakierules]

You cannot say that the netbook will cost you 1200, because don't forget you are also paying for the data usage. Its exactly like contract phones, in reality your phone only costs you about $5 a month, but you are also paying for you minutes text and data. These deals have been around for a while now and when you take everything into account, it can actually work out cheaper sometimes.

[CMPlive]

The thing we don't know is, is this wireless contract only going to work with this netbook, or will it work with other computers?

[wizzards101]

Yea but id rather buy a netbook for 500$... Not a wireles internet provider thats gona

cost me money i dont have you know?

[FsimulatorX]

It is better to spend $400 or $500 for a net book rather that spend $1400 for 2 years

[mjd1796]

this just goes to show how desperate Best Buy is getting

[CMPlive]

Possibly...

[RicMpt]

what people can come up with 2 make money.......

[CMPlive]

I've heard stranger ideas...

[Jazza159]

WHAT A RIP

i hate these kind of deals. its the same as phone plans that let you buy a 700 dollar phone for nothing but your on a 2year plan paying $50 a month

[Kustom546cp]

Ridiculous! I cant believe that, what do they think we are, idiots?

[5xxdude]

Unfortunatly thats exactly what they think. Many people will mistake this for an amazing deal and will buy the netbooks while Best Buy and Verizon are raking in the cash.

[CMPlive]

Probably not idiots, but they do want to bundle this deal and make a dollar or two...

[MrSolid95]

definitely a bad deal....i rather buy it full price...thnx for the information cessna( i am calling u that cuz i dont know ur name k?) and the advice..

[grame141]

His name is "Steve"

*reply to "MrSolid95"*

[flightsimy]

people just want to buy it because it seems cheap but they dont look at the T&C so they wont know what they need to do and what else thay need to purchase for it

[DunderMifflinpeople]

they always $#&% with you.

[tjf4375]

Good work for pointing this out. I think it's ok as long as you know exactly what you're signing up for. As someone else said, if you bought a netbook outright, you'd still have to pay for internet access on top of that, which after 2 years would probably amount to about the same. The only difference here is you're committed to the same ISP at the same rate for 2 years. If you're happy with that then why not?

[CMPlive]

True, it the buyer is aware then it is OK.

[MajinFrahma]

Better to get a data card that you can use with many devices. That netbook plan is tied to that one netbook which is very lame.

[filez101]

Not a bad deal...That 1.4k is for the INTERNET the net book is basically free! So you will ahve internet everywhere. Hey it is still 99c

[Airportchris2]

AT&T and the others, correction.

[Airportchris2]

It's a bribe, they want you to sign up with AT&T forget it, it may seem like it's a deal, but you'll be paying it back in phone charges, trust me, how these things always work out.
