The Pavilion dm1 is one of HP's latest netbooks and somewhat more unique than others, mostly thanks to being powered by AMD hardware, and Verizon decided it would offer it subsidized and connected to its 3G network.

The HP Pavilion dm1 has a configuration based on the AMD Athlon II Neo K325 central processing unit, whose clock frequency is of 1.3 GHz.

This CPU is backed up by 2 GB of DDR3 memory and paired with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics.

For storage, the laptop's maker added a hard disk drive with an internal capacity of 320 GB, as well as HP Cloud Drive online storage.

There is, of course, the 11.6-inch screen with a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels, as well as built-in Altec Lansing speakers and a webcam.

Verizon has now taken this machine and outfitted it with a couple of features as part of its subsidization plan.

To be more specific, the laptop will have full access to the Verizon Wireless 3G network while a SIM card lets it access networks outside America.

Of course, in order to take advantage of either or all of these features, one will have to be willing to meet Verizon's price.

There are several pricing options that may or may not stir differing degrees of conflicting emotions inside end-users, according to Engadget at least.

The so-called common option has the machine itself priced at $199.99, with a $100 mail-in rebate and a customer agreement of two years on a Mobile Broadband plan.

As for the HP Cloud Drive service, a free 30-day trial is offered for 100 GB, after which customers will retain the right to benefit from 2 GB free of charge or begin paying the service depending on how much storage they go for.
