In 2020, 5G available on MacBook?

TheTaiwanese newspaper DigiTimesclaims according to its sources that the year 2020 could be that of 5G on laptops.

Dell, Lenovo, HP in 2019 then Apple in 2020

Indeed, according to the publication, various laptop manufacturers such as Lenovo, Dell and HP would be ready to offer a machine equipped with 5G connectivity as early as 2019.

Apple, as usual when a new technology arrives, would fall a little behind the competition. Thus, DigiTimes claims that a MacBook with 5G could arrive in 2020.

This delay between Apple and the competition would allow the Californian firm to offer a faster 5G connection and a more efficient 5G chip, particularly in terms of energy.

We know the Cupertino company is particularly interested in 5G, particularly sinceits purchase from Intel's modem divisionand its desire to produce its own 5G chips.

And with 5G possibly available on iPhone in 2020 and all these clues put together, including competition ready for 5G on laptops in 2019 and the development of in-house 5G chips, it would not be impossible to see it land next year, a MacBook with 5G connectivity.

But there would still be the problem of 5G coverage. This remains little developed in various countries, including France. In 2020,according to ARCEP instructions, only very large cities in the country will be covered. In the United States, however, users can already benefit from it, notably with the operator Verizon.
