Mobile Operator O2 Updates Netbook and Laptop Bundles

Mobile operator O2 is changing up its mobile broadband netbook and laptop packages.

The newest netbook to join the team is the ASUS Eee PC 1005H. This 10.1″ LED-backlit widescreen netbook is equipped with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1 GB of RAM, and a 160 GB hard drive. It has an integrated microphone and webcam and the default operating system is Windows XP.

The newest laptop addition is the 15.6″ Samsung R519. This laptop is equipped with a 2.16GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core T3400 processor, an Intel GMA 4500M graphics chipset, 2 GB of RAM, and a 250 GB hard drive. Other tech specs include a DVD super multi DL drive, WLAN/Wi-Fi, and a 1.3 megapixel webcam. The operating system available on this machine is Windows Vista.

These portable computing devices will be subsidized with the purchase of a 24-month data plan contract that includes 300 text messages and unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot access. 3 GB and 10 GB monthly data plans are available, the latter of which is roughly £10 more per month. There is also a one-time charge of £29.38 regardless of the netbook/laptop package selected, which gets you an O2 USB E169 mobile broadband modem.
