It's silly to use wireless
if you don't have to.
As a Radio Design engineer before doing this stuff, I can
only say "well stated"
all things being equal, maybe, but they never are.
laptops are designed to be portable and a wired connection will quickly
become a problem when moving around.
the reality is that laptop users rarely, if ever, use a wired ethernet
port, which is why many laptop makers no longer include them, and for
the rare times they need wired, use an adapter.
and it's not just laptops. once 5g is widely deployed (a few years),
expect to see wireless isps becoming common because it will be cheaper
to deploy that versus rewiring every street in every neighborhood,
particularly for higher speeds.

Wešre seeing speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second and latency rates well
under 10 milliseconds for the radio link at customer trial locations
in Austin. *We also continue to conduct outdoor pre-standards mobile
5G testing.
