    You mean, Lenovo finally up to it?
    As a few other companies started offering 3G long ago.
    High-end Clevo's could be equipped with broadband adapters more than a year ago.
    Dell offers this for the Precision series AFAIK.
    But 4G is nice, unless you travel to places with no coverage, lol.


    <<<< Edit: They just added the Sprint but they had 3G for some time already, so disregard my first statement. Lenovo is doing it for quite
    some time now. Now they're just expanding the broadband capabilities. Go Lenovo, hehe.

    Sprint 4G (WiMAX, IEEE 802.16e) was also supported in the previous generation of ThinkPads (X200, T400, etc.) through Intel the 5250 wireless card. Except for the part about Edge, there is nothing really new in this announcement.
