The Samsung Go (N310) is the latest to join the ranks of the subsidized netbook laptops and sold by U.S. mobile operators. From 22 November, AT & T will go a Samsung netbook for $ 199 offer to customers, which for a 2-year service contract. You need to send in a mail-in rebate to receive this award.

The laptop will run Windows 7 Starter Edition and sports a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display. 1 GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive. It has a 4-cell, 4000mAh battery, and supports 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and 3G cellular connections. It looks like AT & T is sold model with a blue lid, but the netbook is also available in black and red. No word on whether AT & T can offer these options in the future.

As with all subsidized netbook is the price in the run pretty well, but you would do better, that they planned expenditure of $ 35 to $ 60 per month for a 3G wireless plan for the next two years preceding application, or will end up paying much more in the long run.

The Acer Aspire Timeline 1820PT is still a no-show in your neck of the woods. But if you are in Australia you can prior to the 11.6-inch laptop with a touch screen swivels and folds over the keyboard for use in tablet mode.

Apart from the touch screen, the laptop is pretty much the same as the Acer Aspire 1810T, which is already available in the U.S.. Like the 1810T, the 1810PT is a dual-core 1.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 CPU, a 11.6 inches, 1366 x 768 pixels, GMA X4500MHD graphics and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The laptop also supports up to 8 GB of RAM and a 320G hard drive, has an HDMI port and supports optional 3G.

The Australian prices are fairly high, but computers tend to cost an arm and two or three feet in Australia. The price should fall significantly if and when the Acer Aspire Timeline 1820PT is published in North America.
