Well i already got my m11x r3 and i noticed it is possible to get an internal 3g card. any idea where can i get it ?
also on my train rides when i usualy use my r3 and want to play world of warcraft on the internet , i get dissconected alot probably due to the train ride. will I have same problems with the m11x 3g ? or perhaps it has a better antena than my iphone 3gs ?
-
You can get one in any GSM carrier. -
the m11x r3 already has the capability to inszert 3g sim card inside ?
-
actually, it depends on the provider i suppose... with the external dongle few years back i would get up to 3mb/s download and it would be stable enough to play online games quite well. I think it was T-mobile one. UK btw.
Also, before getting a 3g plan, ask to test it out for a few days to see if the coverage is ok etc. -
yes , but is the m11x r3 already capable of inserting a sim card or i need to buy a special external usb device / inside device for the laptop ?
-
You need to buy a wwan card and the antennas for it. Then you need to install the antenna (they are in the screen)

WoW does not use much bandwidth so mobile connections can be okay. I doubt however that it would be usable on the train for any online game.
I have played WoW using Vodafone (UK) but not while on a moving train. -
I used to have a netbook with Verizon and the 3G was fast enough to play Guild Wars with a ping of 300 (not too great, but playable...sort of)
like everyone says, 3G is not really that great for gaming. What I would do instead... get yourself a 3G/4G android on Sprint (or one of the carriers that still offers unlimited data) and get yourself a free app called PDAnet. This will basically let you tether your phone to your laptop, and you can game all you want. -
I have played battlefield 2 while tethered to a iphone, so while it is possible to game on 3g, it just may not be the best. But you can use it to play games that have a DRM.

speeds can range from ~5-6 Mbps to only 0.5-1 Mbps depending on all of those things. 5 Mbps is pretty fast, and i've played BFBC2 with a ping of ~150 and had zero issues.
where can i get 3g card for the m11x ?
