• Laptops no longer have extension slots. You used to be able to buy cards for specific purposes and slot them in. Modern laptops have lost this, and most laptops are not self-serviceable, so any cellular modern you get today is going to be an external peripheral.

    Where are you finding laptops with integrated cellular chips?

      I have 3.

      It just has to be chosen as an option at purchase time. Though usually consumer lines don’t have the option.

      It’s almost like you’d swap out the WiFi card for a sim/WiFi card… Ffs tech literacy really has died, hasn’t it?

        Ye, that’s crap, but seems mostly an Apple issue. If you need a PC with both, you buy a business class machine (which I do anyway, because consumer lines suck).
