>>>I haven't heard of any laptop coming without a network connector, unless it's really old or really cheap. If it really comes without it, you may have to buy an external adapter. Google "usb network adapter ethernet" and you will find a lot of different models.

>>Lenovo Thinkpad P1 Gen 3 series is without RJ45 connector. It's not cheap nor very old.

>I find that a little shocking, thank you for the warning. I am looking for a new laptop at the moment, and didn't even think of putting a RJ45 on my "must have" list. Although I have a super quick Mesh WAN system, I still prefer to use cables, it feels safer.

With today's file sizes, a wee fee (as my son-in-law would say) is simply too slow for many things. Maybe the router I got from Telekom is quite obsolete and serves too many recipients, dunno, but once I tried to copy one gigabyte from this box to the little laptop upstairs, the transfer was estimated at more than an hour. No I can't imagine how long an update of one of windowses would take.
