Hi all,
i have always wanted to get my hands on a x230.finally got one in prestine condition at a good price.The thing runs /purrs all day.fan doesnt come on much,computer runs cool to touch,fan quiet,temps hover around 45-50 with avg usage,my new fav. Battery lasts so far 6hrs,havent really tested it but thats good for me.so have a question.My x230 came with a Intel Centrino Wireless N 2200 2.4ghz only.without modding the bios what card can i put in there at best?You think a x131e wifi card would work with this x230?its a 2x2 11a/b/g/n lan pci express half mini card,supports 5ghz,its faster then the N2200.I havent opened up the x230 inside yet.
Take a look at our

Whats the highest wifi card for x230 without bios modding
Re: Whats the highest wifi card for x230 without bios modding
IIRC, the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (Taylor Peak) does 802.11n on both bands. It's probably not worth the effort though, unless the 2.4GHz band is saturated in your area.
You need to go to 802.11ac to get any meaningful throughput increase, but that requires a modded BIOS.

Good call!
I completely forgot that those were available in the mSATA format.
