From today, Dell will offer 13 notebook models with the capability to access BigPond Wireless Broadband built-in and plans starting from $34.95 per month.

Client Computing Strategist for Dell, Jeff Morris says that this move by Dell is in response to direct customer feedback. "Dell is known for giving customers the ability the tailor what's inside their notebook - we've recently given consumers the ability to choose the colour as well.  That flexibility extends to being able to use your Dell notebook online in more places too."

"Our build-to-order capability gives us the flexibility to do this at our factory and deliver to each customer a bespoke system tailored just the way they want.  We've worked closely with BigPond to make the wireless broadband experience simple, easy to buy and to use," Morris said.

BigPond Group Managing Director, Justin Milne said, "Fire up your new notebook, run the connection manager, pick a plan, and you're online."
