If you’re lucky enough to have justified the expense of buying a MacBook Pro you might be axin’ yourself what you can do with that ExpressCard slot gathering dust (okay, hopefully NOT gathering dust) on the left-hand side of your Book. Hey, I’ve got an idea, how about sucking down some of that sweet broadband? If you’re so inclined, and have the bucks to spend (hit up whomever you had to convince to buy the MB Pro), 5thirtyone has a mid-sized review of the Verizon Wireless Novatel V640 ExpressCard EVDO. It looks relatively brainless in set-up, honest-to-goodness plug n play. And speaking of looks, what a fugly mother. It looks like a power brick plugged into the side of your otherwise sleek Pro.
BTW: The piece has a link to Booster-Antenna, a site that offers the Verizon EVDO for $80 off, and links to two EVDO forums: EVDO Info and EVDOForums
