so im going to be purchasing a laptop soon. its main purpose is for school- programming, word processing, web design, etc... but of course i'll use it for the interweb, email, and music sometimes.

requirements are as follows-

small footprint- 13" or smaller
INTEGRATED WWAN for verizon wireless EVDO connection (this is the kicker)
1.8ghz or faster
1gb of RAM or more
80gb+ hdd
dvd rom/cdrw or better
wireless a/b/g and bluetooth

i had my eye on the 12" dell XPS, but i recently found out that the integrated WWAN card is not available for it. so far the only thing i've found that meets my requirements is the IBM x60. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

 

only thing i've personally seen that has this:
INTEGRATED WWAN

is a VIAO. dont know which model tho h:

 

i know that dell, hp, toshiba and IBM carry models with this feature. i think sony's only works for cingular. i had a guy come in my store to get his sony activated on verizon's network and it only had software for cingular. he was pissed cause the salesman told him it had both.

 

ahh..that i did not know. i've never really looked into this feature h:

i'm just waiting to get my damn verizon air card from work!!

 

i could do the regular air card with most any laptop, but i really don't want any shit sticking off the sides if i can help it. im sure you already know this, but a lot of the newer laptops are coming with the 'express card' slot which requires a different model air card. just a heads up.
