    There is no information to indication that it is a 3G model.

    You could use the full model number (AOA150-1985, I believe) or have them remove the bottom cover and see if it has the 3G card.

    Second that, JerryT's right. Unless you can get a screenshot of the Device Manager, or a picture of the 3G modem in the mPCIE port underneath, or at least a viable image of the SIM card slot behind the battery, no one could tell you if ts a 3G model or not. You'll have to ask the seller, while you're doing that, it might be worth double-checking if the webcam in the machine is fully functional, they have a habit of dying.

    The ZG5 is a A150 and NOT a 3G Model.

    "Acer has released Windows drivers for the A150 today and they can be downloaded here. They are not really useful as no AA1s with built-in 3G are available yet, but they do reveal which 3G module will be used. There are actually two drivers included in the package. The first is for the internal Option GTM380 PCI Express module while the other one is for an external 3G USB modem by Qualcomm." - 2008

    Looks like mine (white), which is AOA150 zg5. And yes, the battery is less than 6 cell like mine that's sticking out of the back.
    The sim card slot on mine (behind the battery) is plugged up . So look it up if the slot is not open there is no 3g likely.
    my 2 cents, not an expert.
