Lenovo (HKG:0992) announced on Wednesday that they would be adding options for Sprint’s (NYSE: S) 3G and 4G wireless to their Thinkpad line of laptops sold in the United States, including the company’s ThinkPad Edge line.
“Demand for constant, fast wireless technology has become an expectation, and it’s now mission critical for doing business today,” said Dilip Bhatia, executive director of Lenovo ThinkPad product marketing, in a statement.
