    Simple answer: Yes.

    Got mine in Canada for about the same price, although with 6230 Advanced-N. Don't know about the standard N card, might be good, but I have to say the notebook gets the best signal through the house. Not sure why that is, maybe the antenna is built around the large chassis of the screen?
