    Also another $40 when you use the code: HPDOWN FOR THE NEXT 4 HOURS ONLY!!!! Facebook promo, so $80 off….. ends up $299 after cashback and instant discount

      When you say "Another" $40, does it bring it down to $259?
      Like $339 - $40(paypal) -$40(Another?) = $259

      • carlenet on 21/02/2011 - 13:29

        No it's listed on COTD for $379. Pay with Paypal down to $339 and entering the code down to $299.

      what's the RRP of windows 7 home premium?

      • scrimshaw on 21/02/2011 - 14:55

        If you buy OEM it will cost you something over $100.
        That's assuming that you are a system builder and the shop is willing to sell it to you.

        • IVI on 22/02/2011 - 00:25

          Doesn't MSY sell OEM s/w, eg, if you buy, eg, a memory stick or the like? (Did once, as I recall…)

    • IVI on 22/02/2011 - 00:24

      OK, but does it have anything like ASUS's "instant-on" (Linux-based) alternative OS, with a 2nd Power Switch to select it with ease? ;-)

      Oh, and what's HP's Hardware quality like in this form-factor? What kind of warranty…? etc.

    NO~I just bought one from OrangeIT without the 3G but I really really want 3G…
    So, what about this, who ever want one without 3G can buy this and swap with me, I'll pay difference maybe a bit more…

    BargainHunter69, Why do you do this to me !!!

    At $299 + $10 shipping - $50 more than orangeIT for windows 7 home premium and a 3G card. Good deal if your after those 2 extras.

    • jackwangxp on 21/02/2011 - 13:24

      Just the 3G card itself cost more that $50 to buy, even on eBay. And you will have to get the SIM module, and somehow manage to get them fitted in. I think for $50 extra it worth it.

  • [Deactivated] on 21/02/2011 - 13:14

    Save your money, get it from orangeIT and get a USB 3G modem which you can use on whatever you like for less than this, and at least be likely you'll actually receive it unlike from CotD.

    • jackwangxp on 21/02/2011 - 13:19
      +1

      True, I actually got USB 3G modem, more one…
      But it's another thing you have to carry with, and the feeling of "Can do" without USB modem is just great, althought function the same.
      I don't have problem with CoTD itself, but most of my purchases from it are impulsive and UNnecessary.

    • llama on 21/02/2011 - 13:41

      If it's only for casual use and you have a half-decent smartphone, just use Bluetooth to tether to the phone. If you want simplicity, the last thing you need is 2 different internet data plans.

      • annoynimous on 21/02/2011 - 14:44
        -1

        you don't need bluetooth to tether mate -___-

        tethering allows you to create a small hotspot where on your netbook you see your phone as an available wifi connection and just connect to it, you can also put in basic WEP encryption password but I doubt anyone else around you will wanna steal your internetz for a few minutes…

        but if you already have a separate 3g data sim (like exetel for e.g), you can use this netbook and tether to every other devices instead (to your phone, tablet, other laptop etc)

  • Pobman on 21/02/2011 - 13:45

        My Samsung NF310 has a 10.1" 1366x768px display….so this isn't the only one….

    • jackwangxp on 21/02/2011 - 14:20

      After using it with 1366X768 on a 10" to be honest it's a bit uncomfy for reading words and text, at least in Win 7. Have to zoom for 125% desktop setting.
      Good for 720p video viewing, but it can't cope, So it is not really that spectacular.
      I wish it can be 11.6" with 1366X768

      • Lukian on 21/02/2011 - 15:08

        Just increase the font-size / font DPI. Easily solved.

      • CVonC on 21/02/2011 - 15:50

        use CoreAVC codec

    • affinity on 21/02/2011 - 15:46

      First netbook that I've seen with a decent resolution. I read here in this thread about the Samsung, but hadn't seen any. My Samsung Galaxy S in good at 480x800 with 4" display, imagine 2.5x that on a 10" display.

      I'm also waiting until 1920x1080 is standard across the larger screen units. So many devices have 1366x768 limitation which larger screens.

      I've ordered one of these netbooks as it is a great improvement on 1024x600, but gigabit LAN is also where it should be and it is!

  • hyperchill on 21/02/2011 - 14:55

    Hardly seems worth paying $40 for an Integrated 3G SIM slot. :-\

    • scrimshaw on 21/02/2011 - 15:06
      +1

      If you frequently use a 3G broadband modem, then it would be worth paying extra for the extra convenience of not having to stow away a USB modem everytime you pack the laptop into a bag, not to mention you also free up a USB port.

    • carlenet on 21/02/2011 - 15:07

      COTD's is Windows 7, your ebay example Vista.

      • affinity on 21/02/2011 - 15:36

        It also has a difference in LAN port. COTD's unit states "Gigabit Ethernet LAN".

    • IVI on 22/02/2011 - 00:32

      By contrast: OrangeIT3G has heaps more, and the same $259 HP offer… both with VISTA [& 1 year warranty?]

      I haven't checked 'em out…

      If all is as it seems, then I'd buy one there (eBay).

          Consider if you have iPhone/Android you can use tethering. So 3G modem is not really needed. and if you already have Win7 that you are licensed to install, you don't need it. I don't see much benefit of this netbook using win7 rather than Vista

    Subscribers to COTD's mailing list like myself have the right to be cheesed off that the coupon code is not even mentioned in their email about the deal. As a result, they are worse off by $40. Take note COTD, this is no way to treat your regular customers.

    • affinity on 21/02/2011 - 22:44

      Perhaps you need to friend them on facebook and twitter, then you'll see all the offers.

          According to Microsoft's End User License Agreement, the end user can return Windows for a refund by refusing the terms of the license: "By using the software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the software. Instead, contact the manufacturer or installer to determine their return policy for a refund or credit."
