    Hello,
    Long while since I've been here. I'm looking at a couple of CF-19 mk4's. Based on their models they both have Gobi cards, but which? One has a 6 in the third to last position, which the wiki says is "Gobi (Upper: WWAN, Lower: GPS)". One has G, which the wiki says is "Gobi, dual RF".

    Was it always the same Gobi version in a mk4 regardless of model number, or do the 6 and G refer to different cards?
    Thanks!
    Keith

    No, they don't refer to cards type at all.
    No, it's possible there are different cards. Just buy the laptop you do like more and you can always change the gobi module to the one you need, they are cheap now. I usually install mc8355 modules, GPS works fine in these.
