Many laptops today feature built-in wireless connectivity, so even if you're at an airport lounge, you can still surf at high speeds. But what if you need to get online to check email when you're not near one of these hotspots? The answer is in a snap-in laptop accessory that lets you use your cell phone connection so it'll work wherever you can get a signal.
In the end, here's what we think:
Pros
- Easy to install and use
- Fairly fast performance
- Low system requirements
Cons
- Crashed occasionally
- Not for GSM world phones
- Some laptops shipping with integrated cell modems
