[Thinkpad] Re: Recommendations for a new ThinkPad?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply!

Looking at the two T30s from PC Connection, the only difference between
the two (2366-81U versus 2366-82U) seems to be built-in WiFi support,
presumably through a standard Mini PCI card.

$200 extra seems to be quite a premium just to include the Mini PCI card,
which goes for $60-80 on eBay. Assuming both models have the built-in
antenna, could I simply add the Mini PCI card at a later date?

The IBM support web site's search engine seems to be down right now, so
I couldn't look this up myself.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
