    Hello I decided to buy x220.
    There are 2 models that I think of buying.
    One is 3x3 antena and second is 2x2 antena with out camera.
    If I understand corret both have black cover.
    If I remove the cover what will I see?
    And if I remove the bazel what will I see?
    My main consern is visually and not the performance of the antena.
    Thanks

    If you're not concerned about antenna performance, I'd say the main question would be do you want the camera? If so, then get it. Otherwise, don't. I have the 2x2 and the ThinkPad card. It's always worked well for me.

    I don't want the camera and in my work place for security reason
    I need the laptop to be visually look fine because the security check it.
    If I buy the antena and the security remove the black cover what will they see?
    And I buy it with out camera what will they see?

    They will see nothing. Only three Antennas.
