Embarrassing decision. All in the pursuit of a slightly thinner chassis, I imagine.

- ac29 4y agoMy guess is they are using Intel CNVi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNVi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNVi), which moves some of the WiFi/Bluetooth hardware into the CPU/Chipset. It saves money.
- CameronNemo 4y agoWhat do you mean by saves money? Couldn't Intel be using shenanigans (i.e. anticompetitive price incentives) to get device makers to use this type of card, so the device makers are then tied to Intel wifi and can't switch without redesigning their motherboard?
