Dell Latitude E-Series with Celcom 3G wireless internet broadband
Celcom teams up with Dell to release another broadband-notebook bundle using the new Dell Latitude E-series. This is adding another choice of notebooks to its package, which at present only has HP Compaq. Unlike HP Compaq which is an ‘entry level’ notebook targeted to consumers, the new ‘business’ notebook will expand Dell’s product range towards small medium businesses.
According to the local news, the new Dell Latitude N-series will be equipped with Celcom built-in mobile broadband and Vodafone mobile connect built-in software. No technical details are available in Dell Malaysia or Celcom websites even though Celcom wireless external broadband modem is using Huawei technology,
As comparison, in the UK, where the wireless internet broadband is offered by Vodafone, it is using Dell Wireless 5520 Mobile Broadband(Tri-band HSDPA 3.6) Mini-Card.
The notebooks are priced from RM4,399 (not certain if installment payment via credit card is available), on which users are enjoying free unlimited wireless internet broadband for one month and a discounted rate of RM50 per month for the next six months.

Hey.. I wonder why they promote their 3G service like hotcakes but their connectivity (bandwidth) services is very poor compared to DIGI Broadband. Same also with Maxis… these two provider has the worst 3G internet services. Suck.. very suck.
aku guna Celcom Broadband, so far okay ar berbanding takleh nak on9…haha
i heard by next year, all laptops will be sold with built-in wimax transceiver instead of wifi.. is that true??
kalau duduk kat bandar ok la…
kalau duduk kat ceruk rantau nie.. susah la skit…
digi pulak clear kat area kampung.. hehehe
maybe if the cost to installed it being lower than what at the market now.
or perhaps it’s just michael lai’s strategy to physcho the market to accept P1′s wimax as a standard.. who knows?
Not all bro, I heard certain models still continue using WIFI. Since Wimax still not adopted widely, and only handful of WIMAX service around, even in Malaysia, the device come with premium price..
