Acer Aspire 5920 WiMax Enabled Notebook

Acer have today confirmed that a WiMax (a technology that’s widely seen as the successor to Wi-Fi) enabled version of its popular Asus Aspire 5920 notebook is already being manufactured and will be made available initially via Sprint Nextel, and subsequently other networks, much in the same way as cell phones are sold via contact and service plans.

PC World reports that Quanta Computer have been contracted to manufacture Asus’s new WiMax Aspire 5920 notebooks which, apart from offering wireless connectivity at broadband speeds, sports a 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, 320GB HDD, GeForce 8600M GS video card and integrated Blu-ray optical drive.

Pricing and the specific service plans to be made available are yet to be confirmed at the time of writing.
