HP introduces 3G laptop
Definitely I need to add this notebook to my wish list.
Hewlett-Packard’s new nc6400 is a 3G-capable laptop that offers download speeds fast enough to pull in podcasts, multimedia-heavy Web sites, and even videos — from just about any major city around the world — thanks to the built-in Cingular 3G module. The nc6400 is also Vista-ready and powered by a choice of Intel Core 2 Duo processors.
In an overture to knowledge workers with wanderlust, Hewlett-Packard and Cingular have launched what they are claiming is the world’s first notebook Relevant Products/Services with built-in global 3G capabilities.
The HP Relevant Products/Services Compaq nc6400 boasts a built-in Cingular Wireless UMTS/HSDPA module — in plain English, hardware that lets the notebook connect to Cingular’s global high-speed data network in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Europe, and much of Asia, with more than two dozen countries in all.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to have a laptop WITH a 3G card rather than having the card implanted to the laptop? Besides, 3G signals even on downtown Jakarta (my office is around menteng area) is choppy at best in a closed room.
