Having read through the "help me decide" link on Lenovo's website and the specs on each adapter on Intel's website I'm still not sure which wifi adapter to get for the T410 I'm about to order. There are 5 options in the config builder:
- ThinkPad WiFi
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [add $0.00]
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 [add $17.00]
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 [add $34.00]
Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 [add $46.75]
I'm getting the core i5 520M CPU. I don't do\need WiMAX so that rules out the last option. I don't connect to N networks right now, but that may change 6-12 months down the road. Otherwise I'm docked most of the day and connet to a G network for web surfing & the occasional software download when undocked.
Is there a compelling reason to get the Intel Wireless-N over Lenovo's own adapter? To get the Advanced-N over the Wireless-N? Or to get the Ultimate-N over the Advanced-N?
Thanks!
