LTE laptop PCs are on an upward trend with 85% of firms welcoming their implementation. (Per a VAIO Japan Survey)
Changes in data sharing has made Wi-Fi mainstream, increasing the expectation of LTE built-in laptops. A business professional taking a laptop from their shoulder bag to work in a café, on the train, or shared desk is commonplace today, but we are about to witness the next stage of laptop PC evolution. VAIO conducted a unique survey among nearly 500 IT administrators of companies where laptops and tablet PCs were installed with mobile routers to explain this. The results indicated that 85% of companies expressed a positive reaction to the implementation or further implementation of laptops with LTE built-in mobile routing. It may be the best sign yet that built-in Wi-Fi routing has entered mainstream use.
47% of large companies are planning to expand LTE built-in laptop implementation in the future, with an additional 22% under consideration, and another 16% showing interest. This means 85% of companies as a whole are open to the concept. 
Despite the heavy use of mobile routers, the number of LTE built-in laptop users remains surprisingly high. According to current statistics, the introduction of laptops and tablet PCs with LTE built-in has reached nearly half of the usage of mobile Wi-Fi routers. Cost reduction/Labor-saving/Easy connection. Responses from companies benefiting from early implementation of LTE built-in PCs. Why migrate your company to LTE built-in PCs? After others were asked about their appeal, 3 reasons became clear. 3 Reasons to choose an LTE built-in PC
Total cost of the device, ease of device management, fewer connection issues, among others, ranked high in appeal. 
This is a more detailed analysis of the questionnaire results by usage. Note the answers from companies that were early adopters.
However, according to companies who were early adopters, device and communication cost concerns are low, as shown in results from the following questionnaire. 
Concerns over device and communication cost are lower for installed users while higher for Wi-Fi router users, and concerns about internal sharing and multi-device use are minimal. “LTE built-in PCs seem beneficial, but are comparatively too expensive…” If this negative image can be overcome, upgrading to LTE built-in PCs can be easily achieved. Career choices when introducing LTE built-in PCs. Choosing the optimal communication plan. We have a final questionnaire result that takes a closer look at which career selections could be problematic when introducing LTE built-in PCs. The current high rate of interest is in domestic spot usage relative to other choices and should be noted. 
Interest in domestic spot usage is higher relative to other choices. Choosing which carrier and communication plan that best fits their business is a serious consideration for IT administrators aiming at reducing costs and improving operational efficiency. In the new VAIO series we are exploring the range of choices for carrier and data communication plans. If you are interested in mobile PC LTE communication, please contact us for more information.
