> 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless networking Surprised there's no 802.11ax/wifi 6. Why not use the same wifi chips as the iPhones?

  perhaps it is not that mobile

    Not with that attitude.

    It does have wheels, which is an upgrade on mobility from the previous generation.

  Think about what you're asking: this thing uses a high-end server board with a bunch of exotic specs. Those things take time to design, validate, and test — don't forget that reliability under sustained load is a hard requirement in that market — so adding extra chips isn't done on a whim. Then you have to ask how many people are using this for something where the performance hit of using WiFi is acceptable — it has two 10Gb ethernet ports so you can get an idea for the kind of usage they're targeting.
