Samsung Chromebook 3G XE303C12

[WiWavelength]

The third generation $329 Samsung Chromebook 3G includes 100 MB/mo VZW EV-DO data and 12 Gogo in flight Wi-Fi passes (both usable over the next two years). Any interest?

Apparently, a 3G Modem costs $80 to the consumer to include and certify.

Not really interested in the 3G version with Verizon. The wifi on the other hand is nice and I even convinced my nieces to get it.

Even the $249 Wi-Fi only version comes with the 12 free Gogo in flight Wi-Fi passes -- not too shabby if you fly on partner airlines quite a bit.

True. I might get one just for the heck of it. If it connects to my Plugable Displaylink USB connectors then I can use additional monitors with it like I do with the smaller Dell laptop I have. Lord knows it will be lighter than the dell.

I'm out. CNET said it could not handle a dozen browser tabs at once.

I thought of you when I read that. Ha.

Plus, reloading your typical 27 browser tabs would eat up your included VZW EV-DO 100 MB/mo quota in one fell swoop.

Well, I bought one.

 

I wonder if I can put my Samsung purchases as a tax deduction. Note 1, Note 10.1, Chromebook and soon the Note 2. lol

Just get Robert to file the paperwork for S4GRU as a tax exempt 501©(3) educational institution...

I think I'll order one once they're actually out (vs. just preordering). WiFi-only version though; getting the 3G edition would be a step back for me connectivity-wise.

 

If the system chokes on anything I throw at it performance-wise, I can always pop open LogMeIn and use that, right?

 

This would actually be my second Chromebok. Unfortunately the mSATA cable on my Cr-48 died. Otherwise I'd still have a Chromebook, albeit one running Windows 8.
