Has Apple created a MacBook that can run independently by means of built in independent wifi or cellular wifi, or something to that effect or is there a work around I am just not aware of?
MacBook Pro (M4)
I'm not sure what you mean by "independent wifi" but all Macs have built-in wireless. No Macs have built-in cellular radios.
I should have said Independent internet that does not depend or require for the MacBook to be on a Wireless Network such as Wi-fi or connected to a Hotspot. It would have the Internet functionality built in maybe at cost through Cellular or Satellite or something offered by Apple like the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and so on. I hope that clears up my question a little more. I just don't won't to have to have to constantly search for an accessible network to connect to via Wi-fi or constantly run my MacBook off my hotspot on my phone, and if I am going to have to use something Via Phone Plan/Or cellular such as a new line and hot spot (normally 4g at XX amount GBs until you hit the ceiling then it slows down and I would like to not have to Plug something bulking into my MacBook each Time and go through the steps of powering it on logging it in, then establishing the connection with it, then logging in again (as the hotspots is now Wi-fi) I just feel It is a lot of redundant actions hence my question or if there has been any work arounds something I am missing.
I also asked due to a conversation I had in in passing about the newer MacBook(Not sure if it is Pro or Air) having this capability of Accessing and running on the internet etc. without the Need of Wi-fi or Hotspot. So also extending some feelers out for that particular point as well..
Thanks, that helps and I understand what you're seeking. No, for a Mac to be connected to the Internet requires an infrastructure network. Its only built-in capabilities are wireless (Wi-Fi) and Ethernet, and some low end Macs don't even have the latter.
You can of course connect to any cell phone's wireless "hotspot" but that's a function of the phone and its cellular data service.
There may be wireless dongles that provide cellular service, perhaps satellite Internet, but I don't have any particular recommendations for you.
Here's a recommendation from a forum participant whose opinions I respect:
Cellular WWAN - Apple Community
It looks like a viable solution worth considering.
MacBook with built in independent wifi or cellular wifi
