Gateway unveils NV59C66u notebook with integrated WiMAX card

Gateway's latest notebook release of the day is the NV59C66u, which stands out given that it has an optional integrated WiMAX card. But couldn't they have thought of a simpler code name?

Moving on, buyers of the NV59C66u laptop can choose a WiMAX service provider should they live in a metropolitan area where there is WiMAX service.
