- gemlarin, on 05/10/2009, -2/+14$199 with a 2-year contract? What kind of crack are they smoking? That will end up costing you 10X more than just buying one outright, not to mention the ridiculous fees associated with their 3G/MiFi plan.
@blastek. I could not disagree with you more. I have a Asus eee PC 1000 for when I am on the road, it has a full size keyboard, minus a couple keys, a 10" screen, a 40Gig SSD hard drive, over 7 hours of battery life, and runs every application I throw at it just fine. Its not designed for games, it is meant to mobility, however it runs Flash without a hiccup. I think the persons netbook you used had some serious issues. Cost me $399, plus I got a $50 instant rebate. Best $350 I have spent in a long time. - benologist, on 05/10/2009, -2/+11Buried as blog spam. Gizmodo's short summary of a short post by BGR is just unnecessary.

- Xfer00, on 05/10/2009, -0/+8As a proud owner of an ASUS EEE 901, I can proudly say you're horribly wrong on all accounts.
My EEE can very easily play full-screen flash no problem, as I've played desktop tower defense on many occasions. In addition, it very smoothly plays HD video and sound with no problems. The keyboard is smaller than normal, yes, but it was very easy to get used to - Even if you don't want the small keyboard, the EEE 1000-series comes with a near-full-sized keyboard (92%) and is still very small in comparison to a normal sized notebook.
The only drawback is the slightly slow read-speed from the internal SSD, which is entirely bearable and only shows itself when loading a program for the first time after boot or after long breaks. For example, the computer may hang for up to 5 seconds max when opening Word or Firefox, but runs just fine when it's been spooled to RAM.
With 2GB of RAM, any Atom-equipped netbook is more than worthy of even being a primary computer. I suggest you reevaluate your position on netbooks with a new model netbook - The older, 700-series EEEs and competitors were generally very slow and limiting. However, newer models have very few flaws and perform wonderfully. - mablung, on 05/10/2009, -1/+8Aren't all 3g internet card plans about the same price?
- wrathofg0d, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5tether your g3 phone to your netbook
profit - themastersb, on 05/10/2009, -0/+4Me EEEPC is pretty much a portable version of the computer I had 4 years ago.
- audiogeek5, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3and it won't be able do to ANYTHING outside of costing you 50 bucks a month for a data plan because verizon will cripple it so much.
- DigeratiPrime, on 05/10/2009, -0/+3I own a HP Mini 1000 CTO, Atom N270 1.6GHz and upgraded to 2GB of RAM.
As for Flash animations, the Star Wars Gangsta Rap SE will drop frames in High Quality mode, but is almost flawless in low quality mode. YouTube "hd" and 720p blu-ray rips also experience dropped frames.
Using Windows 7 Ultimate x86 RC and Media Player Classic (overlay render). - AlexC16, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3Why was this submitted in images?
- professorplum, on 05/10/2009, -1/+4plays your mom's glory hole videos in full screen just fine. ***** off
- inactive, on 05/10/2009, -0/+2Im running Vista Ultimate on a Dell Mini 9 and it runs perfectly with Aero on. Netflix steaming, Hulu, and Youtube (all fullscreen) run flawlessly. I did however, need to adjust a few things. Turn off paging file(virtual memory), Avast AV instead of memory/cpu hog McAfee, upgrade to 2gb of ram, and bought a 32gb SSD (80 dollars on ebay). I am very pleased with this machine.
It has replaced my Macbook for traveling and business needs. I also have OS X installed on my original 16gb SSD which I can quickly swap in and out. OS X runs very quickly (even boots faster than my Macbook), all the drivers work, and people always comment on it when I have it out. Nice little 300 dollar machine. - Elranzer, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2"That will end up costing you 10X more than just buying one outright, not to mention the ridiculous fees associated with their 3G/MiFi plan."
Sounds like Verizon is going the Rent-a-Center plan... - NJJ56, on 05/11/2009, -0/+1yea, im not sure what set up the person was using, but I can do all of what you said with mine
Acer aspire one, 1.5 gig ram, 80 gig PETA drive mod (it ran fine with the 8 gig SSD, i just wanted more disk space for work).i run windows 7 ultimate no problem with anything I ever try to do.
side note, I switched to windows 7 from being a long time ubuntu user (8.04, 8.10 and 9.04) and absolutely love the simplicity, all my drivers worked right away after the install, no tweaking, no modding, just great use. - lateralus, on 05/11/2009, -0/+1Just watched 720p trailer with no issue whatsoever on an HP 2140. The HP netbooks have pretty good keyboards. I run Leopard and XP flawlessly on 2GB of Ram.
- NJJ56, on 05/11/2009, -0/+1exactly.
plus, what would be the advantage of this? you still have to pay for a PHONE from verizon as well, unless you sign on just for this. Get a blackberry, I have no problems doing anything I need to do ON THE GO (not saying anything i ever need to do) ever. - brettotte1, on 05/10/2009, -2/+2Last time I checked nobody was forcing you to buy this. If you wanted a netbook and you need wireless 3g internet then you might as well get this and save some $$$
- cowboy86, on 05/10/2009, -1/+1While I like the idea, it seems overpriced. I have an MSI wind with Windows 7 and it's exceptionally fast. While I don't have 3G, I do have bluetooth to connect to my Blackberry for internet access. I also post some decent WEI scores.
http://tinyurl.com/rxuxlz - helpingout09, on 06/04/2009, -0/+0Hopefully Verizon does a deal with the MiFi... There's information on the MiFi at http://www.squidoo.com/mifi
- kingamoon, on 05/10/2009, -6/+3You get what you paid for.
- inactive, on 05/10/2009, -10/+1i hate netbooks. i almost ordered one. i went to class the next day and used someones. it's the slowest ***** ever. can't play full screen flash fluently, slow, tiny keyboard. just overall suckage
- coldkat, on 05/10/2009, -9/+0what does this have to do with megan fox?
