    it is stated in the website of PCMW that the EDGE (M860TU) laptop is WiMax interface integrated but when I ordered I didn't see any option that is related to that. Is this true to the M860TU laptops?

    The chipset supports it, but I'm pretty certain you have to have a WiMax card installed.

    I believe you only need a express card slot or a usb slot; then you have to purchuse a xohm card or usb. Check out www.xohm.com for more info...

    Currently WiMax is only available in Baltimore with possible more cities getting it next year.
