Consider Some 4G Laptops with Built-In WiMax

If you’re loving mobility these days you might want to consider one of the following 4G WiMAX-enabled laptops that have hit the market. And the good news is that since WiMAX uses Intel’s Centrino chip and Intel is bullish on their product to the point that they’re almost giving it away to manufacturers, you can pick up a a WiMAX-equipped model for not much more than one without.Toshiba Portege R705-P35 (listed retail of 899.99) is considered a “more practical alternative to the Sony VAIO Z” according to PC Magazine.Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086 (listed retail of 804.99) has been reviewed as having “solid performance” as well as a long battery life and great audio. A perceived downside to this model is its weight compared to other options.Dell Inspiron 17R-2950MRB (listed retail of 949.99) has been reviewed as having “great processor speeds but also lacks a bit of power in the graphics department should that be a factor in your intended use.There are more out there of course like Sony’s VAIO VPC-EB33FM/BJ which has a list price on the low end of 629.99 and the Lenova ThinkPad T410s which comes in on the high-end at 1,504.Our suggestion is to drill down on what your specific needs will be to best match a model to those needs without paying for extras that may matter little (whereas a couple hundred bucks in the bank might matter a lot).It’s easy to get caught up in the “latest and greatest” it’s important to remember that technology is changing almost as quickly as it will take you to read this, so make sure you’re not paying for something that’s hot today but will be considered mainstream tomorrow kind of like the pocket calculator back in the 1960′s that retailed for well over 100 and can now be purchased for under 3.95!
