Dell intends to sell 99 USD netbook

US computer company Dell will offer $ 99 Inspirion Mini netbook with a contract.

This will be part of the package with US AT&T mobile carrier. Users must sign up for a two-year contract with AT&T LaptopConnect wireless broadband service. Usually, Inspirion Mini 9 sells for $ 499.

The two companies plan to offer discounts (US $ 350 per machine) to US customers from the end of this month. Both sides hope this package will stimulate consumer interest in the netbook market.

" Mini 9 is specially designed for mobile, high definition, fast and reliable access to social networks, e-mail and Internet surfing ," Dell's vice president of marketing and sales is Mr. Michael Tatelman said.

This is not a case of selling a laptop with the first subscription. Last month, AT&T joined electronic retailer Radio Shack to offer a subscription service with an $ 99 Acer netbook.
