That's not true though, is it? Have an AX200 series wifi chip on an AM4 Motherboard, works well.

AX201 only works with intel. AX200 should work in the AMD Framework as well. Edit: Info from Intel itself https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000...

Why does it work only with Intel? Isn't WiFi card just an ordinary PCI-Express device?

I've been waiting for this machine for so long, excited to see the actual CPU unveil. I may be out of date, but is the issue with not entering sleep mode properly resolved? That's a huge issue to me. Aside from Framework, does anyone suggest any other existing laptops that keep a fairly slim design while also offering lots of user repairability? I've had an okay experience with my Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 3, but she's…

> If you're upgrading your Framework Laptop to the new Mainboard, remember that you'll need DDR5 SO-DIMMs up to DDR5-5600, along with a Ryzen-compatible RZ616 or similar WiFi card. What's a "Ryzen-compatible" WiFi card?

Probably a card that supports AMD-specific backdoors in Platform Security Processor, AMD's equivalent of IME.

As other comments have already explained, it means a card that uses plain PCIe and not one that requires Intel-specific weirdness.

> that the Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 is a CRF module that uses the Intel proprietary interface

clearly not.

Using AX2XX on my Ryzen desktop too, works great. As far as I know that series of chipsets is one of the best available for Wifi/BT cards.

The *1’s use CPU offloading and only support Intel CPUs. The *0’s don’t.

I am puzzled by the lack of keyboard layouts for Switzerland (we have the cash to spend on such novelties!). Also, no DVORAK? Is this for hackers or not?

The Laptop is devoted to hackers, not hipsters.

The hipsters are probably using Colemak.
