Dell, HP and Lenovo have had laptops with cellular modems for maybe 15 years at this point. | ||

*A few select models got celluar modems. I have owned several Dell, HP and Lenovo Laptops in the past 15 years and I have never had a cellular modem. When Apple makes a change like that it impacts a lot of customers because they have way fewer skews. | ||

I can confirm this. I work at an e-waste recycling company, and the vast majority of my inventory is corporate IT decommissioned gear. About 1 out of 10 laptops I tear down has a cellular modem, going back to about Intel Core 5th gen. | ||
