近日，戴尔宣布推出2款具备wimax上网功能的笔记本电脑，Studio 16 和 Studio XPS 17，基于802.11n迷你卡的英特尔5159 WiMax/802.11n combo卡价值60美元。
These desktop replacements seem like an odd choice since the point of mobile broadband is, well, mobility. It would be nice to have the option on netbooks and ultraportables. Then again, WiMax is marketed as a replacement for home broadband, as well as mobile data.
The biggest strike against WiMax is its limited availability. Mobile WiMax is currently available only in Portland and Baltimore, though Sprint has announced plans to expand its Clear network this year to include Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Fort Worth, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Seattle. But wireless network build-outs are notorious for missing deadlines.
