To ssdclickofdeath:
1. A replacement FLOSS compatible wifi module can be bought from 3-5 bucks on
eBay. I recommend the Atheros AR5B95 card.
2. This is mainly a behaviour of the IBM/Lenovo's ThinkPad line of portable
computers. Just search for other people experiences in replacing the internal
wifi card on the internet.
3. In short, go for Intel HD Graphics
4. You should simply avoid buying an AMD processor. Go for the Intel one.
5. Just check out the the processor model number and search for it on the
Intel website.
