    It is an option. Search for cell phone laptop modem and you will find hundreds of cards to install to give you cell phone service.

    Literally every internet device has a modem. You just change it from one with a wifi antenna to one with a LTE(cellphone) antenna.

    This question was born entirely out of ignorance of the devices existence, not an actual lack of the device existing. I had one in the freaking 90’s.

    Does no one remember tablet pcs, which are just low end laptops without a keyboard, that come pretty standard with cell phone service, including iPads???

      I know they exist. I was specifically pointing out that lack of feature in a major computing platform.

        And I pointed to the iPads, that are keyboardless laptops, that come standard with one from the exact company you criticized. So I really question what you do know.
