Practical answer
What about hotspot and internet on the go?
A standalone mobile hotspot keeps your laptop online without putting the internet back in your pocket.
If you work from a laptop in cars, airports, or client offices, you need connectivity — but you don't need it in your pocket.
- A dedicated mobile hotspot device provides Wi-Fi for a laptop and has no screen worth looking at.
- Some simple phones support tethering; many do not.
- The smartphone can serve as a hotspot on the days you have it with you.
