Well I bought the 16GB WIFI-only model. I don't need 3G for my tablet as I use it mainly at home but when I'm outside I tether it to my phone's (Xperia S) 3G network and it works fine. Or you might want to get the 3G model if you need a constant 3 g connection.

If you are using Virgin Mobile's 3G I believe all U.S. plans include unlimited 3G for no additional cost (although there is, if I recall correctly, some fine print about limiting the speed past a basic threshold of usage). At home -- or in 'friendly' (accessible) WiFi situations you are not using the 3G and there would be no additional cost to you beyond what you are already paying for your internet connection. FOR THE RECORD though, I dumped this phone because the multiprocessing affects the pitch of the music being played, which is totally unforgivable to my hears. I moved up to the HTC One V that can be found here for between $49 and $99 dollars.

This isn't Google's product, it's Samsung's.That said, the price is within range of other Chromebooks.

You really can't download or install anything on a chromebook. You only will have a chrome web browser to do anything with.

I think if you buy the 3g/4g enabled version you can, but honestly this tablet is not worth your time. It does not hold a charge, and if you plan to use wifi, mine did not work. I sent it back to amazon right away.

I ordered the HP Chromebook 14 T-Mobile 4G for $349.00. After I received the shipping notice today I saw that the price just dropped to $329.99. I called Amazon to find out if they could do anything for me and without hesitation, the representative said that she would credit my credit card account $20. Now THAT'S customer service!! Just thought I'd pass this on in case it would be of benefit to someone. It never hurts to ask.

The device does NOT come with pre-paid service. You'll still need to arrange for that. I know it will run on the Verizon system. Don't know about any others. I use a $50/month plan that provides enough for general work. Something like 5 Gbytes. I rarely go over 1 Gbyte or 2. But, I save watching videos and listening to streaming radio until I'm on unlimited internet access at home.

That's the new Chromebook 14 HP released. The ports are different and I believe it is a bit slimmer. The title of the product specifically says "NOT compatible with NEWER HP Chromebook 14 G3 series like 14-X010 / 14-X013dx / 14-X015wm / 14-X030nr / 14-X040nr / X050nr" ...so no, it is not.

Any smartphone or tablet you buy nowadays will already come with a USB charging cable so you could use that to connect your phone or tablet to your Chromebook.

Yes I do not have a contract I use it only on my wifi. You can add it to a plan if you want.

It has built-in WiFi. If you want to use 3G cellular service, you'll need a USB modem from your carrier. Acer doesn't sell this laptop with a built-in 3G modem.

There is wifi connection, I think you would have to buy a different Fujitsu tablet (one that comes with broadband/internet connection card on it) to get the 3G you're looking for. I think if the card doesn't come with it, you can't add it later on as aftermarket so you have to look into buying an external hotspot device or you can try tethering your cell phone to it if your cell phone provider allows for such thing. You can always call Fujitsu customer service and provide them with the model number of the fujitsu you want to buy and they can clarify for you if a 3 G connection is possible. They may have in stock a tablet model that can do more (probably Android and not Windows operating system) of what you want. I know that Fujitsu had a selection, a model just like this one but with an internet/broadband card, and newer sleeker tablets that are Android operating systems.

Did you see the article showing the component cost on a chromebook is over $320? did you really expect them to sell something like this at a loss? when they can't put horrific bloatware and get kickbacks from microsoft?

The chromebook will save the t-mobile network in connections and automatically connect when there is no wifi. You will have to sign into your t-mobile account to enable 4g.There is always the option to disconnect the t-mobile network as you would do with a regular network connection.
