WiWavelength Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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? http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/chrome-os-devices/XE303C12-H01US-features AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koiulpoi Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Apparently, a 3G Modem costs $80 to the consumer to include and certify. http://www.cnet.com/laptops/samsung-chromebook-series-3/4505-3121_7-35500150.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospirits Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 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. TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

twospirits Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 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.

S4GRU Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I'm out. CNET said it could not handle a dozen browser tabs at once. Robert via Nexus 7 using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, reloading your typical 27 browser tabs would eat up your included VZW EV-DO 100 MB/mo quota in one fell swoop. AJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospirits Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 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 TS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iansltx Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
