Does wifi chipset matter on a laptop? Its just an m.2 Key E chip, should be easily replaceable. Cant imagine manufacturers would solder that on, its not like RAM
Yes it matters. Loads of manufacturers are doing soldered wifi on some of their models. Delll, HP, they are all at it.
And even if your wifi wasn’t soldered, wouldn’t it be better to know you were buying a machine where it would just work out the box rather than needing replacement?
Never been reliant on wifi tbh, I’ve generally been an Ethernet purist and have never owned a personal laptop (just desktops). Even for work laptops id use either onboard ethernet or a dongle
