Laptops that take wireless to the max
Dell is the latest vendor to grab bleeding-edge wireless technologies and integrate them into its laptop product line. The Latitude D620 and D820 both now feature optional built-in connectivity to wireless broadband technology. It will allow enterprises to choose services among cellular carriers, including Cingular Wireless and Verizon Wireless in the U.S. and Vodafone in Europe. While 3G high-speed network connectivity is still pretty limited and often not available in many cities, the laptops do support Verizon's Evolution Data Only and Cingular's High Speed Downlink Packet Access data transmission specs. The price point for the new device and wireless capabilities isn't too bad, averaging about $200 plus the service plan cost. In addition, the devices boast built-in 802.11b/g WiFi and a function called the Wi-Fi Catcher, which helps users detect WiFi hotspots without booting up the machine. Article
