Not sure if it matters but I have Libreboot installed. It’s the slot located next to the drive slot.
Also any other upgrade recommendations while I’m at it? I have maxed out the RAM and have an SSD. I am wondering if I should upgrade the WiFi card. I don’t know if there are any limitations there.
No it needs to be the half height mini pcie card.
Do they even make full sized cards with AX? The last time I saw those were in the pci days unless you count the wwan card slot on larger machines.

Gotcha. I wasn’t sure after looking in some ThinkPad forum posts about it

I’m not sure if this is full height.
Do you think something like this looks alright?
Just want to make sure I’m not missing out on anything. I haven’t bought a wireless card in a while.
the m.2 card won’t fit but there’s a mini pcie version of the ax210 (best performing wifi card rn). Search for the ax210hmw

That’s an M.2 card and won’t work without some sort of adapter. I don’t think any adapter would physically fit.

The actual card in that picture is the half height one you’d need. The bracket makes it full height.
Makes sense. Do you think card pictured below would be alright spec-wise?
