Best thing to do when buying laptops is just avoid Dell, HP, Lenovo, Sony,
Toshiba, and Apple as you frequently can't replace the wifi cards with a
compatible one due to digital restrictions on the mini pcie slot (wifi card
slot) or proprietary cards.
While you still run the risk of running into other issues like defective
switches (ie not supported, software based, propritary windows drivers only)
for the wifi card slot it's at least cutting out the manufacturers who are
known to be problematic due something we should all be boycotting.
Obviously it would be ideal to also avoid companies that force a proprietary
OS on you as well... but I think I'm more in the minority here on that one.
I'd go one step farther... then even this... but you all know my obvious
stance already.
