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.

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...

If you don’t believe me, read the comments section of the review you linked yourself! It seems to be a combination of the card and poor antenna on this laptop.That Intel card does not do well...

I don't think the model you're referring is same as this model as the poster mentioned that to be purchased on 2014 whereas S540 model was released in 2019. Also, all the posts are dated 2016, long...
