I love the ThinkPad hardware; and while the T430/T440 series have SOME of the
cool stuff from the old days, they are just beginning to be a little long in
the tooth for me. I'm not very hardware intensive, but... I will be looking at
some other ThinkPad models in the future. I might just bite the bullet and go
CURRENT T-series, but I haven't decided just yet.

Understood... however, you are getting a LITTLE better speeds than me; I wonder
what type of WiFi chip/card is in the T470 vs what is CURRENT??? Maybe it would
be worth it, for me, to upgrade the WiFi chip/card in my T430s to the best it
will take, OR whatever is current in 2021... 

Even if I won't get the 100mb/s that I had THOUGHT, I'd probably see a better
transfer rate anyway. Hmmmmm...


I get around 80mb down on average, with my Thinkpad...
