and and like you know the battery charging like it has usbc great um except that it does not support even remotely fast charging so no matter what wattage charger you give it it's going to charge at like three watts and so if it's if the battery's dead you can plug it in like 10 minutes later it'll be at two percent like it's so like as as a device

It is not good.

But having a hotspot when you have crappy tethering situations is really nice.

So it's frustrating.

And the plan is not good either.

The plan from AT&T for a hotspot is something like $55 a month.

And there is a data cap.

It's not too awful.

I think that's for like 20 or 50 gigs.

It's a good amount of data.

And this is kind of why I'm concerned.

I wonder if, you know, we've been waiting all these years for Apple to make a cellular MacBook of some kind.

I'm afraid that the plans might end up sucking for them, like that they might be really expensive plans because like an iPad plan is what, 20, 25 bucks a month.

Yeah.

In that range.

Right.

Um, but like, uh, a hotspot plan is 50 or 60.

I, I wonder where they would put, like, I know, I guess PC laptops exist.

I guess we can look, just look this up.

Um, but I do worry like that, that eventually Apple will give us a cellular Mac book and AT&T will want 60 bucks a month for it.
