Dell Studio 15 Laptops Packing EVDO Like Their Little Brother
Posted by Mark Wilson at 4:00 AM on September 9, 2008
The world gasped when Dell's Mini Inspiron 9 revealed its integrated 3G data, and now Dell is revealing their wider plan to integrate more 3G data cards into their computers. The new Studio 15 laptops feature an integrated EVDO card with a subscription available from Verizon or Sprint (the hardware is the same either way). It's a US$150 add-on to any model in the line (about the same price a USB dongle will cost you), putting their cheapest EVDO Studio 15 at US$799. But note that Verizon is already offering a US$125 rebate with 2-year subscription, pretty much eating the upgrade price. Not bad at all, Dell. [Dell via bbGadgets]

Looks great, I have been ogling these laptops with built in 3G for a while. Offering rebates with subscription is another great incentive, the last incentive I need is unlimited Data, or a much higher cap.

I gotta agree. Dell's finally got some attractive laptops. I've always thought that everything that wasn't a Latitude was fuglier than the bottom of the balls.

Dell has good looking laptops? Like Hp and Apple? Took them long enough. Progress is good though. :D

The XPS 1530 and 1330 looked very good imo.. (the 1730 was horrible)

@Kaiser-Machead on the Edge: I think my Inspiron 6000 looks sweet. And I told you not to talk about the bottom of my balls.

The question is, does Dell still have cheap softy plasticy flimsy parts that feel like you're typing on a trampoline?

@Sora57: LOL
My Inspiron 8200 is ugly as sin, but I love the tray design.
