Sprint Introduces the 99-Cent Netbook
Posted 07/08/09 at 03:20:56 PM by Pulkit Chandna
A $1 netbook sounds like a Third World fantasy. Ironically, such a netbook has become a reality in the US. Sprint and Best Buy have combined forces to sell the Compaq Mini 110c-1040DX Netbook for 99 cents.
The only caveat being that interested persons will have to opt for a two-year service contract with Sprint Nextel, which costs $1,440 and offers 5GB of data.
The same netbook, which features a 1.60GHz Intel Atom processor, 10-inch screen and 160 HDD, is also being offered by AT&T and Verizon along with a two-year contract for $199. Its actual price is $389.

It is a good deal only if

It is a good deal only if you are in the market for mobile broadband service ($60 a month is normal service charge plus the cost of the card) otherwise take the $1400 and purchase a real laptop with wifi

Remember around 10 years ago

Remember around 10 years ago or so when you could buy a super cheap or practically free computer from Best Buy or Circuit City? Remember the catch was you had to sign a 2 year ISP contract for $30+ a month dial up? Remeber how lame that was? Well, apparently everybody forgot because here we go again.
Of course the wireless companies have always done that and are still doing it. Here's a free phone but you have to sign a contract for the service. Bah. That business model is out dated and bad for consumers. Enough already.
I remember that!
