Purple Netbook unleashed

[Dismal Shadow]

To be honest, this is stupid. HOVRS ripped you off 400 dollars Purple Netbook which it is not your, it is HOVRS' property.

Plus, they just branded the netbook with a LAME Purple STICKER over the dell logo..

You can buy a real netbook for 350 dollars from Dell.com and just download P3, and you just save yourself 50 bucks.

I hate when they won't say any specs because if we knew, we wouldnt buy it.

So, don't buy it. Plus, I dont like P3, I know it is in BEta but it gave me 2 times - BSOD.. my following specs are Core 2 Duo 3.7 Ghz, 4 GB, Vista Business, HD radeon 4850.

There's a difference, if you BUY it is YOURS, if you are part of the beta testing group, now that's a different story.

In case you are wondering about the system's specifications :

The Purple Netbook is a fully functional mini laptop computer. Your Purple Netbook will have some or all of the following features.
- Approximately 9 to 10 inch wide screen
- Approximately 2 and 3 pounds
- Built in Memory card reader
- USB port(s) for flash drive
- Fully functional keyboard
- Built in web cam
- Built in Wireless modem for wireless (wifi) internet access
- Ethernet port for wired internet access

- Built-in, replaceable, rechargeable battery
- AC Adaptor and power cord for charging the battery
- VGA out jack
- Windows operating system
- Basic productivity software, including word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation software.
- Web browser software such as Internet Explorer.

BTW thechaostheory...the price is the same. But you will have to pay for shipping & handling in additions to taxes. It will get you $500, maybe more, maybe less. Our store, you don't pay for tax nor shipping.

I can buy notebook on newegg and it has no sale tax and cheaper shipping cost, such as $16 for 3 days or free in some cases.

LOL, of course! So that P3 Netbook isn't under Purple's property if I buy it, right? I'm just wondering.

Thank you.



Yes, there is already WIFI N adapter USB but it looks more ugly and annoying to plug/unplug all times when you traveling. So built-in is better since there is many netbook come with WIFI N. My macbook is almost 2 years old and it come with Wifi N. (no, I don't update anything since.)

Wifi G is only 330 FT (indoor) and 128 Mbit/s
Wifi N is almost 950 FT (indoor) and 600 Mbit/s!!!

Wifi N is perfect for heavy download, share files, and long range like me.

Purple Netbook have Wi-Fi Options: 802.11g mini-card.... You can easily purchase N wifi Mini PCI card and swap it then install driver accordingly. Simple as is. You don't need wifi N USB.

I wouldn't care at all.. If I were you, Just take out and keep the original card and install wifi N wireless mini pci card. If problem arise, just swap back the original wifi mini pci and delete driver (or just reformat back to original factory level on XP and send it back to Purple. I've done that on other products before. I still get warranty replacement.

As for memory, Be sure to get Low Density Sodimm memory that works with all computers including Purple rebranded Dell. In that way you don't void warranty. It may be a little expensive than High Density Sodimm. Take added Sodimm memory out if you have to send it to for warranty repair.

Too many computer stores and shops already knew customers add hardware in their computer and took it out before returning to shop for repair. The sticker that have "security" features sometime get peeled off accidently without cracking open the case and they get their warranty voided for no reason. Had one customer that never crack open case and their kid peeled the warranty sticker cuz they like cool "hologram" sticker on the corner between case and cover. They fought with shop and finally had it fixed under warranty. So today, many computers do not have "Warranty" stickers on its corner for that reason.

As long as you don't fry the Purple netbook from 3rd party hardwares (it's not gonna happen anyway), you won't void warranty. What they count is that all the original parts are still in there.

Bottom line is that be sure you take out battery and unplug the Netbook and wait 5 min before cracking open the cover for wifi card or memory upgrade in order to avoid frying anything if it suddenly powered ON on its own.
