Help me choose internal wireless card for my x21

#1 Post by pcnoob » Tue Jan 31, 2006 2:48 am

Hello, I am looking for a good mini pci wireless card for my x21. I looked around and found this. This seller is offering a free set of antannas and other things with the card. Is this a good card? I am not an expert on these things so someone please enlighten me.

Looks like the seller ended the auction early. HOWEVER, for what its worth, the seller: wireless4laptop is a participant in this forum. You could try posting a "wanted ad" here for wireless4laptop. Maybe they would bring the price over here for you.

As for the card itself, I believe that the card would work just fine...I'm just not sure about the antenna though, since the X21 has such a small display. (Feel free to correct me if I am wrong)

You might do better to post a "wanted ad" here and see if you can get the same deal here, but maybe with the correct antenna.

Why put the antenna in the screen? Most sellers recommend putting it under the keyboard.

It was my understanding that there are different types of antennas...the type that attached to the display, and types that are completely flat and are made to fit flat under the keyboard. Again, I could be wrong, and hopefully I am.

I couldn't see the pics of the antennas that come with this auction, as all I could see was a red X.
