BYOD laptop Wi-Fi need

Post by smithcorp »

Hi all, Ruby's high school specs for her school laptop say it needs to have "802.11 a/b/g/n 5ghz." Their Wi-Fi operates on 802.11n.

I'm struggling to find a laptop with that spec - any advice appreciated.

If the laptop has 802.11 ac (which most should), then it'll be compatible with the network

What sort of Budget are you working on?

First thing I found on JB, and happens to be on sale!

Little bit pricier. Can be folded over and used as a tablet.
