But if you're planning to stay in Windows, I don't see it to be an issue as it will support Intel cards without any whitelisting.

The WiFi card on this sucks and you cannot change it to a better one because the BIOS will not allow it.
The few allowed ones suck too. Just say no to manufacturers who pull this crap.

That was to point at the antenna issue. It is the same weak link in both Intel and AMD models. The Intel card isn’t bad like the Realtek which is a piece of crap but with this antenna it gives very...

You may be right about the Thinkpad s540 vs Ideapad s540 although the AMD version of the latter has the WiFi problem because of the bad RealTek card.
But the whitelisting still exists. Only the...

The hackintosh example was just to respond to your assertion that whitelisting is not an issue in newer Lenovos. This is false.
This problem still remains if you want to replace the card for any...

If you don’t believe me, read the comments section of the review you linked yourself!

That Seller does not meet SlickDeal's policy. Also, I think $10 extra is worth for buying it directly from Lenovo than any Third party retailer.

The discussion is mainly about changing the poor Realtek card in the AMD model which has very poor performance. Where is the discussion about the Intel model having the 9560 WiFi Card?
If I am still...
