    I don't know if this is right forum spot. I apologize if its in the wrong spot but I am thinking about getting a new laptop the m17x r4 and was wondering which network card you would recommend. The basic intel N 2230 or intel 6250 or the killer wireless N 1103? I have cable internet and using a netgear N600 router. Is it worth it to get the killer wireless Card or should i save my money and get one of the others? Would i benefit from it or will i not really notice any difference. I will probably be on wifi most of the time.

    6250 or 1103 is good. Because you have a dual band N router, I will not recommend the 2230 which lacks 5GHz N support.
