Hi Guys

I am planning of buying a 17" laptop OcUK W370ST.

I am having a problem selecting a network card. Basically i want one with integrated bluetooth.

The most important thing in my case is connection reliability - that is no wifi drop outs or bluetooth issues.

Which one is the best from the two above.

Maybe someone who has them can tell me whether he encountered any problems. I did some search in google and both have issues apparently. The intel seems to have much more according to the intel forums

Any advice please?

I'd go intel.

Business class matured products used by millions vs a small gaming based company

As above, the Intel chip any day of the week.

I thanks for your feedback - my concern is the fact that intel cards are getting a lot of complaints on the internet regaring connectivity issues

I would go intel all the way

I would go Intel as well, the Bigfoot Killer cards is purely a gimmick that offers no advantages, and in some cases I've seen they can affect stability as well.

As for the connectivety issue, my dad's laptop has an Intel wifi card as well (I can't remember the model number, but it did start with a 6) and suffered connection problems. Newer drivers didn't work but setting the power profile in Window's advanced power settings to maximum solved it.
