    The 62x0 is better in most ways, and the 6300 is better in all ways.

    One difference is that Intel 1030 does not work on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS even the driver/firmeware file is there.

    My 1810T uses a Intel 5100, the new XPS15 R2 a Intel 6230 and even there I see no difference...signal is good even on the Acer, even though it is a 1x2 card.
