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.

But we are contacting our customers that have indicated they want a second VP in their home with a special offer.

We are offering it to you for only $199.00. you should have any questions regarding this special offer, please contact Purple Account Services at 866-318-6224 (VP) Monday thru Friday.

Good question about requesting specs on RAM, GHz, ghz, GB, HDD size for 9" and 10". Nathan and I will find out about it next week. We will send more info on technical specifications of Purple Netbook.

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.

They don't have to buy Wireless N USB adapter.. Wifi mini pci is easy to swap just like you do to SODIMM memory.

Solution FAQ:

I’d like to upgrade the memory on my Purple Netbook—who can I call about purchasing additional memory for my Purple Netbook?

At this time Purple Communications is not offering any additional customization options with our Purple Netbook. Additional memory, or similar items, can be purchased from various vendors at the buyers own risk and discretion.

But void one-year warranty if installation.

If customer sell it to someone, he/she can't open P3 on login in if not having purple member.

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.

Yes, they still work updated P3 software for MAC. P3 software still be alpha and beta testing. P3 is pretty working to be calling to any VP in using 10-digital number.

TechBill · 05-16-2009, 05:07 PM

Some netbook don't have harddrive, it uses flashdrives.

Do P3 Netbook have harddrive or flashdrive?

I am know about that.

It's wasted of money and time to spend replace the hardware. Look at newegg.com it already have WIFI N and cost under $280. It's better than Dell $400 then spend another $40-$60 for replace the hardware. That's over $450! It's silly!

Did you know that Mini PCI card is outdated?

All netbook use mini PCI express not mini PCI.

Left is Mini PCI express and Right is Mini PCI.

You don't understand do you? You can just order the netbook that comes with P3 software and that's all there is. You can do whatever you want with the netbook. Whatever you do, modify, customize, configure or weather you add any 3rd party hardware is at your own RISK. Meaning any 3rd party hardware damage your netbook, it void the warranty. Other than that you simply own as you would your own. It's not under purple PROPERTY. Chevy got misunderstood in his statement. Purplecatty had proven his point and he understands this.

Dell Mini 9 has 8 SSD hard drive or 16 SDD hard drive only. Not SATA Hard Drive. Faster performance than SATA.

What's different between SSD and SDD?

There is no SSD hard drive.

Only solid-state drives (SSD) OR hard disk drive (HDD). You can't said SSD and HDD in one word like that.

Dude! SSD use SATA interface! Here a picture.

First of all P3 is a software and it's free to download later after the testing is over, second Netbook is a computer and there's the difference between those 2. Overpriced? Why don't you go to Dell website if you think it's overpriced. There's a discount after all. Interoperability? You must be joking. It works great on my Vista. Those who does meet its system requirements will likely to be interoperability and crash or BSOD. So far I have hear no issues with P3 and it works like a charm. As for Deaf Nation Expo, you will come to realize who I really am. I might not tell or show you my true face.

it would be ripped off if they start with the basic netbook like 250 dollars then overpriced 150 dollars more, just make me mad!!!!

I travel every week for my work and I have a HTPC at home that I would like to take my recorded tv shows with me. I do that with my laptop but I don't want to carry a Laptop and a Netbook.

If I can do it all on a Netbook then I will leave my laptop at home.
