*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.
