Are WWAN cards not a thing already? I've never looked much into them at all, but they do seem to exist, at least (and seem to be around $20-$50 and plug into M.2 slots)
- p_ing 2y agoMacBooks do not have an M.2 slot, nor do they have WWAN.
- dagmx 2y agoMany laptops, including MacBooks, do not have M.2 expansion available.
- wtallis 2y agoAnd when laptops do have a spare M.2 slot it's usually intended for an SSD only and is not the right kind of M.2 slot for a cellular (or WiFi) card. And of course, you'd need antennas. So the whole laptop needs to be designed around accommodating cellular connectivity, with significant changes to the internal layout.
- dagmx 2y agoYeah great point. Given the MacBook is metal, and expansion slot would need to also be placed with cellular in mind to work
