I want to buy a laptop for a few purposes, not my main laptop:

  • Use it to run [email protected] stuff and Stable Diffusion

  • Use it for games downloaded from repack sites

  • I would like to pull out the WiFi card. I have offline computers and online computers

  • I would probably dual-boot Windows and Linux, or else have it boot Windows and use a live USB when I want Linux

Thank you all.

    If you want something that lets you physically remove a WiFi card check out the frameworks laptop. Other than them there is no such thing as a “WiFi card” in laptops, it’s all fully integrated now and I’d be surprised to see a new laptop from factory without some version of WiFi built in.

      There are still some laptops with removable WiFi card. For example you can change it on this hp pavillion aero

      Um, what? That’s simply not true, unless you look at a small subset of Laptops.
