OS X and 4G wifi don't mix?

[Tygrz]

I'm researching going wireless, and I just read someone's post in a forum for a device for that service that 4G doesn't work with OS X. True?

well the Mac hardware doesn't have a 4G chip, so how would you get a 4G to even connect?

Okay, I gotcha.... newbie to this stuff!!
So supposedly Microsoft's hardware DOES have '4G chips'?

I don't think there are any laptops that include a cellular modem (4G or elsewise).. You could have an external 4G modem which would work like any dial up.

<cellular 4g Network> --> <cellular 4g Modem> --> wi-fi --> OSx?/

I'll just say that my MacBook, wife's MacBook Pro, 3 of my older laptops, 2 iMacs have worked over my iPhone cellphone connection. Also on a Verizon MiFi. Also on ATT's MiFi type device.

Since connecting to my iPhone is so simple now I completely got rid of the other data plans and now when I am on the road and don't have WiFi I connect to my iPhone's hotspot and do what I need to then disconnect.
I have to do this always at my parents home, they don't have any form of WiFi and barely any cell signal.
