Lenovo ThinkPad users who need 3G access can now get it without having to cough up money for a lengthy contract.
Available starting today, Lenovo Mobile Access is a service built into select ThinkPad Classic and ThinkPad Edge laptops for customers in the U.S. and parts of Europe. The service is geared for customers who may need mobile broadband access from time to time but don’t want to be saddled with expensive monthly fees.
Lenovo ThinkPad owners can buy a “Time Pass” costing just $1.95 for 30 minutes of access allowing 30MB of data, or $8.95 for a full day allowing 200MB of data. Users who need more time can choose contract-free monthly plans that provide 2GB of data for $44.95 or or 6GB for $79.95.
Other monthly plans are available that offer 200MB, 2GB, or 6GB of data with an option to automatically renew each month. Lenovo expects most people will use the 30-minute or 1-day plans the majority of the time.
