They had a 3G macbook prototype years ago, never went with it.

The integrated 3G & GPS in my ThinkPad is very convenient.

I imagine the all metal cases make it quite difficult (ignoring all other factors).
If you take a look at the prototype, it had a slide-out antenna on the side of the lid.

They could have done what they did with the iPhone (And what HTC did first on the M7), injected plastic isolating part of the casing as an antenna but that would have been aesthetically odd.

A black shinny ceramic casing would solve it.
And would make me more likely to buy one.

The silver is too sterile.
