“Users also have the option of purchasing a notebook PC for $399, loaded with the same bundle of service. Earthlink’s service is priced at $21.99 a month, or $239.40 annually.

The EarthLink deal allows a user to purchase either an AMD Sempron 2200+-based PC with 256 MB of RAM, a 40 GB hard drive and a 52x CD-ROM for $69.99, or upgrade to a $511 Athlon 64 3200+ PC, with 256MB of RAM, 120GB hard drive, and a 16x double-layer DVDRW/CDRW combo drive. Notebook prices with the rebate range from $399 for a 14.1″ VIA C3-based machine to $1,433.50 for an Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz processor and 17″ screen. “

The two systems will run a variant of the Linux operating system. The article does not reveal the details of the deal, but our guess is that you have to sign a two-year contract in order to get the systems at that price.
