WiMAX One of the standards used by cell phone service providers that they call "4G". Based on the IEEE 802.16e wireless standard, mobile WiMAX is a wireless broadband Internet connection like Wi-Fi, with comparable data speeds. But its range is much greater, measured in miles rather than feet, which in theory should provide continuous broadband coverage over greater distances. If supported you usually have to sign up with a service provider and pay an extra fee.

I am very happy with my Thinkpad. This is by far the best computer I have ever owned. I use my computers for actual work not for just surfing the web or posting stuff on a website. I really like how Lenovo has made their laptop geared towards business the community. Some computers are good if you want to just play with pictures and download music. This machine is made to get any job done.
