    Hello all.

    i usually look for different things (Requirements change). currently i need a laptop with wwan capabilities for work purposes.


    since i will have to move around with it, the usb modem thing isnt washing well and can easily damage the laptop and usb port.

    My requirements are:
    13.3 or 12.1 screen
    dont mind processor, ram, hdd.
    wifi and wwan slot - i have a wwan pci slot card already - just need a laptop with pci-e wwan slot and antennas already in.
    as cheap as possible
    as light as possible
    and a webcam included if possible.

    id rather the laptop was 2nd hand as i need it as cheap as possible.

    so far ive found the following:
    dell d420 - no webcam - last option
    lenovo x200 and x300 - too expensive
    Dell xps m1330 - too heavy, had one for a while.
    acer timeline 3810t/ 3410t - one id like, but not easy to obtain 2nd hand and expensive new.


    thanks for all your suggestions!

    nobody calls it wwan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G

    the cards are becoming extremely common in netbooks, to the point where Phone Companies are selling them with wireless data plans in the same manner as mobiles over in the US.

    i realise the netbooks have them, the dell mini 9,10 asus etc.

    however im looking for something with a screen of 12.1 to 13.3 for portability and usability. i had a samsung nc10, which, while it was a fantastic netbook, i despised due to the small screen size and the wish never to look at one again.
