Query re change to my order

[theb52s]

I have a laptop in testing now. Checking my account I saw this change.
GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (2.4 Gbps) + BT 5.0

Change to: GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (2.4 Gbps) + BT 5.0
I hadn't been notified. Is this normal and is this change in any way significant?

You'd have to phone PCS to find out why it's been changed, I doubt anyone on here will know.

Edit: I just did a compare between the 200 and 201 on the Intel website. The only difference between them is that the 201 is an M.2 device and the 200 is a PCI-e device.

Thanks. So what is the difference between a M.2 and a PCI-e device in respect of Bluetooth and wireless?

None. Other than the connector they have identical features. Go to the Intel site and check for yourself.

Thanks again. I was just taking a look. My knowledge level is fairly low on these things. I'll assume there's a reason for the change following testing.

Yes, I was thinking something like that. Hopefully not long to wait now!
