- Asus Eee PC 1005PE-PU27 w/Atom N450, Win 7 Starter, 6 cell battery for $349.99 – Amazon

Looking for a cheap netbook with 3g wireless service built in? Verizon has just started selling the Samsung N150. When you sign up for a 2-year mobile broadband contract you can pick one up from a Verizon store for $49.99 after rebate, or you can snag one for just $29.99 from the Verizon Wireless web site.

This is the first Samsung netbook available from Verizon. The wireless carrier also offers 3G netbooks from HP and Gateway. But at just under $30, the Samsung N150 is the cheapest model you can currently get from Verizon.

The Samsung N150 features a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, and a 6 cell battery. It runs Windows 7 Starter Edition and includes 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, a 160Gb hard drive, 1GB of memory, and a flash card reader.

Quick Specs:
Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz (supports DDR3 RAM)
1 GB DDR2 RAM (I wonder why the description says DDR2 – see here)
250 GB Hard Drive
10.1 Inch 1024×600 resolution screen
6 cell battery for 8 hrs battery life
(see full specs)

The Toshiba NB255 is a brand new model that features the latest Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz which offers support for DDR3 RAM. I’ve contacted Toshiba to confirm that the netbook does ship with DDR3 but the description on Amazon states DDR2. In either case, with DDR3 or without this is sure to be a great netbook as Toshiba has created some of the best netbooks on the market.

You can buy it now, from Amazon, for $299
