Lenovo has become the latest company to begin integrating high-speed mobile data into its laptops.
Chinese PC vendor Lenovo will lock its new laptops with embedded wireless broadband connectivity so they can only be used on Vodafone's third-generation (3G) mobile network.
The mobile industry is already in talks with hardware manufacturers about creating smaller, cheaper laptops which come with embedded high speed mobile broadband connectivity.
Chip giant Intel has signed a deal with the GSM Association (GSMA) to help hardware makers include mobile SIM card readers and 3G connectivity in new PCs.

Recently I bought an HP notebook which only has an ExpressCard slot.
However, when I called Optus to ask to be connected or to assist me with
this, nobody knew what I was talking about when I mentioned ExpressCard.
I would appreciate it if somebody could please
explain how it all works. Also I would like to know how it works overseas
and what sort of plans are available.

I have recently purchased a Sony Vaio Laptop (latest release) with Windows Vista. The laptop has a built in wireless card and I am looking for a reasonable wireless plan that will not break the bank. I use the laptop whilst out and about for work and also at home for general Internet browsing. Do you have any suggestions as to a provider that could meet my needs but not break my bank?
