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.
Second wifi adapter to share/route/firewall your cell hotspot or public wifi?
A really poor performing eGPU? You’re supposed to use it for a cellular card. I’m sure you could find a 4g cellular card in mPCIe, but 5g is probably only going to be in the M.2 formfactor.
And absolutely upgrade the wifi card. They make AX wireless cards in the mPCIe formfactor for whatever reason, and they’re a great upgrade over the N cards that they came with. Even AC is a huge step above.
Do you know if a full sized WiFi card will fit? I’ve already put my x200s back together.
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.
How about a Turbo Memory card? The support on Windows seems terrible, but under Linux, it would show up as superfast 1GB or 2GB flash drive.
I haven’t tried it myself, but I am (loosely) planing to.
how fast is a turbo memory card? Is it daster than modern ssds in a mpcie adaptor?
I was looking at that myself. Some ThinkPad forum posts seem to suggest it only helps if you don’t have an SSD.
If it actually functions as a secondary drive that’s incredibly fast that would be a neat novelty.
An RGB card. Then cover it up.
Perfect size for a Coral Edge TPU. do some tensorflow stuff on device…
