Is the extra $25 worth it? (Sager wireless networking)

**BMO908** · 20th April 2012, 12:46 AM

I've been doing extensive research with regard to what laptop I will be ordering (because I have no idea what I'm doing technology-wise), and I'm down to configuring the peripheral stuff. So my question is, is the Sager stock wireless card decent? Or should I upgrade to the Intel® Advanced-N 6235 - 802.11A/B/G/N Wireless LAN Module + Bluetooth for $25? I'm pretty much at my budget limit now, so I'd like to limit spending if possible. I'm planning on using the laptop for netflix streaming, skype, minecraft, etc.
Thanks!

What is Sager's stock card?

**BMO908** · 20th April 2012, 10:11 PM

Built-in 802.11 Wireless B/G/N - Stock Wireless Card + Bluetooth (SKU - S8R110)

that's all the info any sager reseller that I've been to has given on their customization page.

It's been almost a week, so I figured I'd bump with interest. Does anyone have experience / a response to BMO908's question? I'd also love to have a discussion about the differences / options between cards.

In order to provide a reasonable answer we still need to know the stock card- I can guess what it is (Broadcom) but that's not really what you're hoping for. is it?
Out of the blue I can tell you that it's almost always cheaper top upgrade yourself and it's very easy too, so it pays off to DIY but it's worth doing.
