I recently purchased the U720 Modem for my MacBook for work. The main thing that was bugging me was how far it stuck out the side but since the MacBook has no express or PMCCIA slot I really have no choice. At first I velcroed the device to the back of the screen and using a USB extending cable connected it. It worked great but when the modem wasn’t there it was ugly and attracted every piece of lint. The solution was a total mistake when I found a USB extension that swivels. It allows me to swing the modem up and out of the way. It works very nicely when I am sitting at a table trying to get some work done. It really doesn’t work terribly well when it is on my lap but I don’t do that too often and when I do I am at home where I have WiFi. Alex and I had a discussion about this and I sent the picture below.
