Honestly, I think it is fascinating that Samsung is selling a laptop where you choose between an 8-core heterogenous ARM chip and a 5-core heterogeneous x86 chip, both running Windows. With the built-in LTE, it seems like the ultimate niche computer.
- jschwartzi 6y agoLTE is plenty fast for most business tasks. I have an LTE modem in my laptop and can pull it out in a busy airport and get work done even online. At LTE speeds you probably don't even need Wifi except as a way to get on the local network.

- joshstrange 6y agoA bit random but I'm hoping that Apple will be adding an LTE modem or at least offering it on their new ARM "Apple Silicon" devices. I wish they would do that as well as having something like "internet modes" so apps could check if they should try to use less bandwidth or can use as much as they want.
- nikanj 6y agoWould be beautiful in EU with $20/mo unlimited LTE, and horrible in Canada with $50 for 5 gigs, overages at $30 per gig
- belval 6y agoFrankly it's to us Canadians to start asking our lawmakers to force better pricing, at least in metro areas where the population density is similar to Europe.
