Nokia Booklet 3G reportedly hits Best Buy inventory system at $599.99
News that Nokia’s first foray into notebook territory is on its way to the US — as a Best Buy exclusive — managed to get Booklet 3G hopefuls all riled up recently. While we still have no time line in terms of when the sleek laptop might become available, we may now at least know what Nokia and Best Buy plan to charge for the Booklet. According to a purported screen shot of Best Buy’s inventory system, the Booklet 3G will run $599.99. What’s more, the screen shot suggests that inventory began landing at BBY on September 25th and if that is in fact the case, a launch could occur sooner than we thought. $600 may seem like a tall order for a 1.6GHz netbook with 1GB of RAM and a 120GB hard drive but as we’ve said in the past: if this Windows 7-powered lappy comes anywhere close to delivering the 12 hours of battery life Nokia claims, it might be worth just about any price tag Nokia slaps on it.
@scott its also the most power efficent chipset. its an MID set…not netbook or laptop. a version of it was used in the vaio p
1gb of soldered RAM… booooooooo!!! 2 programs come to mind – skype and zune. These 2 I use on the regular and they are a heavy load.
@cplush,
It’s great that it’s power efficent, but 1Gb of ram is not. I think I’ve changed my mind about this now. I like computers that are expandable. Thanks a lot Nokia for getting my hopes up. I could live with an atom processor, but damn. Netbooks are easier to upgrade. lol
