The
Pavilion dm1-3010nr, previously announced at this year's Consumer Electronics
Show, will be available online for $599.99, and customers will have the option
to choose one of the following mobile broadband data plans: a $50 monthly
access plan for 5GB monthly allowance or an $80 monthly access plan for 10GB
monthly allowance. Measuring less than 1.2 inches thick, the dm1-3010nr boasts
CoolSense Technology, which combines advanced hardware and intelligent cooling
software to keep a notebook cooler. With 4G LTE, customers can expect download
speeds of 5M to 12M bps and upload speeds of 2M to 5M bps in 4G mobile
broadband coverage areas, according to a company release.
In
addition, the notebook features Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, an 11.6-inch
high-definition HP BrightView LED display, the 1.60GHz AMD Dual-Core Processor
E-350, a 320GB hard drive with HP ProtectSmart hard drive protection, 2GB DDR3
RAM memory, a VGA Webcam with integrated digital microphone, and a multiformat
digital media card reader for SD cards and multimedia cards.
Verizon
also said it
will
begin selling the 4G LTE Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 July 28, becoming the
first provider of a 4G-powered Samsung tablet. The 16GB model costs $529.99,
and the 32GB model is $629.99, both with two-year contracts. The data plans from
which Tab 10.1 buyers may choose are $30 a month for up to 2GB, $50 a month for
5GB or the heftier $80 a month for 10GB for power users.
Earlier
this month, Verizon announced it was turning on its wireless network in 28
additional markets this week, bringing the 4G LTE network to a total of 102
cities across the country. Consumers and businesses can choose from 10 4G
devices-three smartphones, a tablet, two hotspots and three USB modems, as well
as the HP notebook-to access the network.
When
customers travel outside of a 4G coverage area, the devices automatically
connect to Verizon's 3G network. Customers in 3G coverage areas who purchase 4G
devices will be able to take advantage of 4G speeds when the faster network
becomes available in their areas. The company's 700MHz spectrum gives Verizon
specific advantages with 4G, including a contiguous, nationwide network
license.
The
company is also working with rural communications companies to collaboratively
build and operate a 4G network in those areas using the tower and backhaul
assets of the rural company and Verizon's core 4G LTE equipment and premium
700MHz spectrum. So far, 10 rural companies have announced their participation
in the LTE in Rural America program and have leased spectrum covering, in
total, more than 2.1 million people in rural communities and nearly 62,000
square miles.
