These new snapdragon based windows laptops have to be a serious wake up call for intel. General personal computing is quickly moving away from x86 and the latest “efficiency” core processors from intel can’t compete.

I think intel is in serious trouble. The market is shifting away from x86 for mainstream computers and intel just can’t compete with ARM devices on power. These snapdragon based windows laptops coming out are performing really well for most use cases and it’s going to relegate x86 to just gamers and high end workstation use.

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.
