Nice one for students, really cheap stuff.

By the way, I've just found a potential loophole, subscribe to it for about 1 month, cut off the line, and if my maths is correct:

1st month Bill: RM25
potong charge : RM600
deposit : RM75
Wiring Charge : RM30

If i didn't misread anything, that means a netbook for RM730 - RM750.
Too Bad I'm 3rd year next semester.

Wow! If this is applicable, then it is great! Hope Tmnet employees didn't surf Lowyat forum. BTW, it didn't mention which brand of netbook it is providing to the students.

Heheh i thought they are giving away with Celcom Berukband but with Streamyx

Netbook

Specifications:
-Intel Atom Professor N450
-10.1" Display
-1GB Memory
-250GB HHD
-Integrated Wireless 802.11 b/g
-Integrated WebCam
-Integrated Bluetooth
-Miscrosoft Window 7 Starter
-2 years carry in warranty
-MS Office Trial Pack (60 days/25 Clicks)


Maybe TMnerd will force you to return back if you do not fulfill the 2 years subscription period.

Agreed, SialCom Berukband is better, without the the Homeline, and more importantly, netbook and and fixed line shouldn't be a combination to begin with.

its minimum 2 year contract. should it be 1200 if we intent to terminate acc.?

Is this netbook manufacturer outsourced once again to some unknown local "priviledged" company?
Same as the case of Riger modems which TM supplies out?

only uni student? Tarc college study can?

14. What happens if the Netbook is stolen or missing within the warranty period?
The Netbook will not be replaced as the warranty only covers the maintenance of the Netbook. However, you will still be charged the monthly subscription fees.

* If netbook lost within subscription period , payment still needed until end of subscription period.



Very tricky, right?

This post has been edited by nightelf83: Jan 11 2010, 12:07 PM

students might start to format and install win7 home premium / winxp

if thousands of students get these promo but using celcom broadband, there would be a MAJOR congestion

Yup, VERY TRICKY. This trick easily fell to those who DIDN'T READ/LAZY TO READ terms & condition

This post has been edited by soundsyst64: Jan 11 2010, 12:15 PM

the swirl background of the ad reminds me of HP Mini..

What so tricky about it?

Its the same as lets say, you bought a notebook in Lowyat with an installment plan for 12 months, let say before you habis bayar, on month number 2, you notebook got stolen, installment plan still need to pay.

So if I lose my netbook, I just need to potong without admitting the fact, to get free of paying the subscription fees until the end, just like the potong trick you said. Don't you think that rules are really unnecessary???

I don't think TMnerd such stupid, they're too PRO to fool us with unclear things...

This post has been edited by nightelf83: Jan 11 2010, 03:19 PM

There's no such thing as free lunch la my friend.......they are doing business, not charity.........you lose your netbook, taht's your problem............

Yes, I'm wrong. I forgot about I still need to pay that termination fees RM600, compared to 2 years subscription RM 11XX but I still can online, just need to buy a new computer...er...

I called them and they say its HP mini netbook they are providing.

Is it HP Mini 210 they providing?

then is the netbook good? i mean looking at the spec, n450 is the best atom processor for netbook?

Maybe someone should ask what happens if you potong before the contract ends, and everything would clear up
