The AS1830 will retail for $239.99 on a two-year contract. The Aspire One 523h and Dell Mini 10D both fall into the netbook category, with 10.1-inch displays, Intel N450 Atom processors, and Windows 7 Starter Edition; both units will retail for $39.99 with a two-year contract.

    that Dell is only 39.99 after

    40 bucks for a netbook is pretty damn great

    Posted from BGR Mobile (iPhone).

      Of course, it would take an iPhone user to think this is a great deal.

    You had me at LOL.

    The drugs must be good @ AT&T.

  • Norm VP of DROID Division B1

    And these are targeted to those who are completely retarded. Who is honestly going to pay 50 dollars for 1 GB? Who is their right might would pick At&t over the other two of the big 3 carriers?

    • cellphoneguy

      hey norm vzw charges 50 for 1gb you uneducated mongoloid.

  • mingkee

    Why don’t you go for Virgin Mobile ($40 for unlimited) with mifi or T-Mobile flexpay ($40 for 5GB semi-unlimited), and get whatever laptop or netbook you want?
    (I use Toshiba T215 with nexus one as mobile hotspot)

  • serpentor

    On a 2 yr contract you get to choose from 200MB for $35/month or 5GB for $60/month

    How does AT&T figure 200MB used on a smart phone is any different then 200MB on a laptop?

    The pricing is pretty outrageous. If you’re a corp that gets discounts on these plans, it might work. But as the person above stated, it’s a better deal to use your own laptop and buy a MiFi from Virgin Mobile with unlimited $40 data per month and no contract.

  • Tethering Tom

    $15/day? That’s worse than using the Internet at those fancy hotels. How about you tether your phone to the device and tell AT&T to get lost?

  • phone_booger

    Huh? Only a 250MB hard drive? brb, using my cd as a storage device…

    This is why I’m so glad I got my iPhone 4 unlimited data, jailbroke, and installed mywi! And

    I’ve been running the Acer Aspire 1810T for some time now and I have to say it is a pretty cool little laptop in netbook size. Renders pages flawlessly, fast little processor, HDMI output, ugradeable to 4GB RAM, 6 cell battery usually lasts up to 6 hours. Plenty for your avg user like me. Maybe not the greatest for gaming, but wonderful for business, portability, travelling, etc.

    The AS1830 seems to have about the same specs…

  • ricky

    when it comes to mini netbooks like this that are offered thru the wireless carrier, does it come with a wireless radio to pick up the carriers signal…

    or do you have to place a sim card in it like its a cell phone?
