Wireless Quality
The X300 has a lot to offer for wireless applications with 3G, Wi-Fi 11n and Bluetooth connectivity and WiMAX and Wireless USB as options.
The 3G Card
The 3G card supports most cellular connections: HSDPA (up to 7.2 Mb/s), UMTS (384 Kb/s), EDGE (236 Kb/s), GPRS (60 Kb/s) and GSM (9.6 Kb/s). It is connected by USB internally and its reception quality is good. The software indicated that the reception was 10 to 20 times better than with our ExpressCard.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Lenovo uses a classic 4965AGN Wi-Fi card. Interfaced with PCI-Express, it captured our test laboratory’s Wi-Fi signal perfectly. Due to the lack of a Wi-Fi 11n access point, we couldn’t produce test results for that standard. Bluetooth is also integrated. Tests with a keyboard went well as did file transfers.
WiMAX and Wireless USB are available as options, but our test unit did not offer these connections.

That is a really stupid comment for a laptop that is obviously not meant for anything 3D. Even if the comment was in jest, you could have said something about how damn ugly it is or the screen luminosity which you kept harping on about through the review.
this comes to you from a vista laptop that refuses to recognise a mouse and upon startup takes about 2-3 minutes of constant harddrive access to load up
