New Netbooks get subsidized for the holidays: Samsung Go and Acer Aspire One go for $199 at AT&T
Samsung Go for cheaper: this used to be a pricier Netbook.
(Credit: CNET)Whether or not you choose to take this path, subsidized Netbooks are everywhere. For those who choose to use a 3G data plan, going subsidized offers a little bit of upfront savings.
AT&T has announced updates to its Netbook offerings for the holidays, and the Samsung Go and Acer Aspire One have joined its subsidized offerings. The Samsung Go, with its eye-catching textured color and smooth bubbly look, is certainly a change of pace from most Netbook designs. Both come with Windows 7 Starter installed and sell for $199 with a 2-year data plan.
Is the Samsung Go more appealing to you than a $299 Nokia Booklet 3G?
As for the Acer Aspire One, it wasn't that expensive a Netbook to begin with at $299. Does $100 savings and a 3G antenna/Windows 7 Starter seem worth it?
