Hi Razer Community,
I have exhausted every option to find an answer to this. I convinced my boss to order a Razer Stealth 13.3 for work rather than the Lenovo Carbon, because I mean come on its honestly a mini spaceship. However, the one caveat is that it does not appear to support LTE cellular connections out of the box. He does many sales visits, and insists on having a built-in cellular connection.
So the Razer Stealth 13 has an Intel AC9560 wifi card inside. As far as I can tell this chip supports LTE, but after speaking to an Intel Support Representative (yea they have a live support team, crazy right?) he mentioned that they build those cards OEM for the manufacturers and only the manufacturer can confirm if it can be done.
Hence my question:
Razer Team & Community, is there really absolutely no way whatsoever to have a cellular connection work on this super sweet laptop? It is literally the only thing that this puppy doesn't have, but for the business-oriented user of this product that can be a deal breaker. I ordered an IPEX MH4 WWAN Modem Card, which as far as I can tell plugs into the AC9560 pretty serenely, but I cant get it to work. Is there any alternative option to make it work with the Intel AC9560 card? Or is there perhaps another card that someone can recommend that works for LTE so that I can replace the Intel AC9560?
Thanks for the help!

I am replying this using LTE on my phone, tethering. Does it what you mean? Well it is stealth 2016 though with killer wireless 1535, intel 9560 should be fine doing this as well.

Hi Joikansai,
Unfortunately we do not want to use Tethering, or anything that requires an exterrior component. We are looking for something that allows us to embed the LTE connection inside the laptop. The Lenovo Carbon does this, and so does the Surface 2. They have a slot on the exterior where you insert a SIM card, and as long as the SIM Card is connected with a data plan the computer will have a cellular connection.

Hi. Unfortunately stealth doesn’t have such slot on internal nor external like those laptops you mentioned, using LTE only possible by using lte usb dongle or tethering.
