Done very raw, super basic MVP. Would love your feedback whether this is useful or not to some and if you'd find a further developed version would be of good use. Thanks

For some reason the poll option is turned off so I apologize for not having an actual poll.

I am curious if anyone here would pay for an integrated internet solution to your laptop much like a wifi iPad (current laptops) vs 3G iPad (what it could be; replace 3G for 4G or LTE all you want). Basically laptop with internet. Why or why not? Appreciate the responses.

I know that some netbooks and laptops had a prebuilt integration but that never seemed to have taken off but I am curious if that had to do more with the netbook market in general vs a mass market option.

The current options today are:

1. USB Modem or AirCard

2. Mobile Hotspot device

3. Tether from your smartphone

I think each has drawbacks (forgetting to always bring your USB dongle or card, battery life (especially tethering on the go), and wifi is not always available everywhere.

So if there was an option to have it part of your laptop without a big dongle attached or a separate hotspot device to carry around, would you pay for that (assume service is still through carrier as normal)?
