Compaq Netbook question

[theblackabbot]

My mom just called me and and said her 5 year old Dell laptop died.  The only internet access she can get is Verizon wireless.  Regarding the Compaq netbook they sell, would you all recommend this device?  Is there a modem built into the netbook? 

Or, should she get her own netbook and get on of Verizon's USB modems, or even a MiFi?

Please advise....

Thanks!
