Change your mind about how your laptop gets online. A notebook’s built-in mobile broadband chip is usually hardwired for one cell carrier, like AT&T or Sprint. Qualcomm’s chip is the first to encode network standards in software, not hardware, so a simple download lets you switch carriers and even upgrade when faster networks come along. It debuted this year in the HP EliteBook 6930p. qualcomm.com
