Webpc is priced with DellNet whether you use it or not, as posted earlier (so the package price will be over $500, IMO). Does the Webpc come with Internet access? All Dell Webpcs come with one full year of DellNet-the exclusive Dell Internet Service Provider. When you receive your Webpc, your plan will already be activated so you can begin surfing the net without delay. We've also made it easy for you to purchase additional 30-day, 1-year or 2-year DellNet Internet Contracts. As you'll see, each offers an outstanding value compared to other Internet providers. What if I want to use an ISP other than DellNet? Should you decide not to use the free year of DellNet, your Webpc will work with all other major Internet Service Providers.

<<<I would expect DELL to do competitive pricing but not aggressively drive it down. Do you think Webpc will be under $500? Both CPQ and HP offer consumer machines at $499...>>> Not much to go by except guesswork. Dells previous low price for full-blown machine was about $899. Should easily produce smaller, designed for mass market, WebPc for $300(no floppy)less for under $599. What would MSD enjoy more, in exchange for those nasty 'day before earnings' comments by 5fer, than to sell it for less than the $548 Cpq item ??? Yet Dell, with their quality recognition, could chose to charge the higher prices in the low price field. Summary Your guess as good as anybody on the Dell price. My guess $539 or less(G)
