    Hi, I have basically made up my mind on buying the x61s, but I would like to know how good is the wireless? One review I read says that x61 has poor wireless connection, but I am not sure whether or not that is true.

    Please list the spec (i.e. wireless card) of your x61 or x61s and how good the connection is :)

    Thanks

    Which network card does it have? I am pretty sure lenovo uses the same ones for all their thinkpads, but I just need to confirm it

    Thanks

    I have the Intel 802.11n on mine. I get great reception. I would recommend getting the Intel card over the Atheros because it produces less heat.
