Thank you for the info. I'll get back . . . .
The Dell business laptop (Latitudes) that I've been looking at would allow three different kinds of connection: (1) mobile broadband wireless SIM, (2) wifi, and (3) hard-wired ethernet. My wife and I can use it as backup to our two computers if the power fails for an extended length of time. (Although I do have a generator for catastrophic power failures -- haven't had to use it yet -- knock on wood.) We could take it on vacations.

I'm not an Apple guy -- never had an Apple device. I don't dislike them -- just never had one. For better or worse I'm at home with Windows. This laptop would be loaded with Windows 10 Pro.

LoL your welcome. yeah i read that after i had posted, then thought i better add alink to make sure you know what im talking about anyway hehe.
buy a well padded water resistant bag then spray it with water proofing.
and make it bright colours so u can always see urs from other peoples. travelling around a lot you will get lost in a sea of generic black laptop bags.
and if someone walks off with it you can just smash them in the facebook because you know they have stolen it.
cant use the oh sorry it looks like mine i thought it was mine BS line.
