By Digital Trends Staff August 31, 2005

Wi-Fi service provider Boingo Wireless today extended the number of hotspots their user base can roam to. A deal with Opti-Fi Networks adds wireless networks at 30 North American airports.

This agreement, Boingo said, allows for high speed wireless Internet access at American and Canadian airports including â€œAlbany, NY, International Airport; Edmonton, Alberta, International Airport; Hamilton, Ontario, International Airport; Jackson Hole, WY, Airport, and many others from coast to coast. It also includes access at Airtran Airways gates at many major airports including Atlanta-Hartsfield International Airport; Baltimore-Washington International Airport; Chicago Midway Airport; and Miami International Airport.â€

Future plans will bring an additional 28 airports into the fold. This will bring Boingo’s airport presence to 93 in North America and 169 worldwide.

“Airports are high-value locations because they are such natural and convenient locations for Wi-Fi usage, which makes adding as many airports as possible to the Boingo network a key strategy in our network development,” said Colby Goff, senior vice president of network strategy for Boingo. “Partnering with top-tier providers such as Opti-Fi enables us to fulfill this objective with high-quality networks.”

“Boingo is a premier global Wi-Fi company, and we are excited to be partnering with such a leader and innovator in the wireless market,” said Roland Muse, Opti-Fi’s chief executive officer. “As we strive to meet the demands of the airport market, we will continue to deliver enhanced connectivity and convenience to Boingo’s customers.”

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage

Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

This tiny ThinkPad can’t quite keep up with the MacBook Air M2

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
