Hello, 

 

I have this very thin laptop (Spectre Pro G1). How can I use a SIM card to have internet without WIFI?

 

Thanks in advanced.

I have that model myself. The is no external SIM slot nor is there an internal WWAN card slot. The only expansion is the 3 x USB-C ports on the back. 

 

I think the best you will be able to do is a USB-C WWAN dongle you can get from the wireless carrier. It will be external, but would work. If you can't find it in USB-C you will have to get a USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter and plug it into that. Not ideal, I know.
