Quote from: opckieran on April 25, 2026, 00:45:31iirc Intel is the only vendor of proprietary wifi 7 chipsets, ie you can use them only with Intel SOCs. Everybody else's wifi 7 cards can be used more interchangeably.

Intel WLAN NICs are also the best, bar none. Especially when it comes to driver support.

For a few years, Lenovo used soldered Wi-Fi in all enterprise ThinkPad laptops. With the new Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 3, Lenovo increases modularity by bringing socketed Wi-Fi back.
