Customizing Laptop: Which Wireless Network Should I Get?

I'm customizing a laptop for gaming, college work, browsing the Internet, watching movies, listening to music, etc.

I was wondering which wireless network would be the most worthwhile. I'm ordering a Sager NP9130 from XOTIC PC.

I can settle with the stock wireless card + Bluetooth, upgrade to the Intel Advanced-N 6235 for $25, the Intel Ultimate-N 6300 for $35, or the Bigfoot Networks Killer Wireless-N 1103 (3x3) for $60.

As of now, I am thinking about upgrading to the Intel 6235. I would appreciate any opinions you guys might have as to what I should buy. Thank you!

 

Definitely not Killer 1103. While it's the best card of the lot it's not worth the price.
I agree that going for 6235 seems to be a sensible choice.

 

6235 or 6300. 60$ for the killer is just way too expensive for what you get. If you want the killer you'd be better off buying it on your own, but i doubt that you will have a third antenna wired though.

 

Get the 6300 so you can use the third built-in antennae. However, if you need bluetooth, get the 6235.

 

Third antenna is useless unless you have a three stream router.

 

Useless yes, but it does give extra range. So if you've got money to burn off, pick a 6300 or 1103.

 

It doesn't. Range depends on the location of the transmitter, frequency, type of antenna and transmit power. Adding 10 more identical antennas won't improve your range at all unless these antennas are placed better which is impossible since all of these are inside of a laptop.
