said by Ark:said by wifi4milez:I disagree. Assuming you need a new laptop with mobile data, why on earth would you not do this?? The alternative is purchasing the netbook at full retail (lets call it $400), then buying a data card for $100, THEN paying $60 a month on top of it for your plan. I am not really sure how you consider saving a few hundred dollars being "suckered", however to each his own I guess....
You completely missed my point. Most people don't need cellular internet access. Assume for this conversation that we are only talking about people who don't need or want it. That is a large number of the people who might end up buying these at a discount. And no, full retail is not $400. Even Best Buy has them for $239.99. We're talking about people who WILL look at this as "saving" $140, without thinking about the repercussions of a data plan they don't need.
These people need to learn to stop being idiots.... Why is it that it is now OK to criticize companies for offering marketing incentives? If a consumer is stupid enough to spend $1500 to save $150, then they are idiots...
