    I'm just wondering if the wireless adapter it comes with takes up a USB port or is it like a half pcie internal or full pcie internal or what is it?

    i was asking what format it was like if it was a USB one or the pcie one. I see its a half mini pci-e. it should be offered with an intel 6300 then.

    For some reason, it's not listed on the order page. But well, I can't complain about this one.

    It works for me, so I really could care less. I think that a broadcom, or a TI chip would be better since it integrates Bluetooth and WiFi in one energy conservant chipset but whatever.
