What is 3.75G mobile broadband connectivity?
Want to get one of these mini laptops but have been advised to wait until the OEMs include 3.75G mobile broadband connectivity. Tried looking it up on Google, but the only result was for an Eee laptop that is the first to have it. What is it, and how is it different from the regular 802.11b/g? Thanks.

The regular 802.11b/g requires hot spots like your home network or an Internet Cafe.
Mobile broadband connectivity - Verizon for example does this. You pay a monthly fee and can get internet pretty much every where you can get wireless phone service.

3.75G is the Asus name for "HSUPA".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Sp..._Packet_Access The only US provider is AT&T Mobility, and it's only available in select large metro areas at the present time. It requires a $60/month data plan to use. Outside those metro areas, connection speeds can be anywhere from slow dialup to ISDN equivalent. No need to wait, if you need mobile connectivity, all cell providers offer adapters for their networks. |
