    I'm trying to configure what to get on my laptop and was wondering which of these two would you recommend, Killer 1102 or intel 6300?

    A stronger signal. Don't have a need for Bluetooth.

    Neither the 1102 or 6300 have bluetooth. Get the 1103 if you can, usually resellers can get them if you request it. Otherwise get stock and buy the 1103 from amazon or newegg and install it yourself when you receive the laptop. Its quite easy to do.

    The 1 202 has Bluetooth but Dell currently has an exclusivity deal on them.

    Personally I just purchased an Atheros AR5BHB112 card off eBay which is exactly the same hardware as the Killer 1103 but at less than half the cost.

    Drivers, compatibility, etc on that Atheros? Do these special upgraded cards have any kind of special software interfaces that go with them?
