    Got a refurbished Yoga 2 11 for $300 and added an MX100 SSD. It is now screaming fast for a Pentium bay trail, except for the wifi card (single channel bgn). Does anyone know if an Intel AC 7260 would work in the mini pci slot? Any way to find out what will work other than trying? The drivers on the Lenovo site include Broadcom, intel, and Atheros. Any help would be really appreciated. It's a great little machine. Thx!

    Looking through the hardware maintenance manual, there are two 1x1 choices and no 2x2 choices. Cross checking with the Yoga 2 Pro, there is a choice of the Intel ac7260 listed. Why does Lenovo do this? Ugh.

    Yes. It comes with a 500gb Seagate 2.5" slim drive (5mm). The mx100 is a tight fit thickness wise but it fits.
