I'm seeing anecdotes elsewhere in this thread that wifi worked very well for some testers. Will it be a worse experience than a 2080 Ti on your desktop? Sure.

I'm seeing anecdotes elsewhere in this thread that wifi worked very well for some testers. Will it be a worse experience than a 2080 Ti on your desktop? Sure.
