Wireless AC is backwards compatible with wireless A, B, G, and N. Wireless N usually maxes out around 450megs a second. The average internet speed in the U.S. as of this writing is about 20megs a second. You lose almost nothing by not having wireless AC because most people don't even have access to internet that can send that fast. For the $299 deal of the day price, this seems like a decent deal for a simple laptop for internet surfing, word processing, and light gaming (league of legends, DOTA, maybe GTA V on low settings, etc. ...at least, that's what the reviews of the Intel 620 graphics chip says.) If you can afford or have access to a fiber internet connection (1,000 megs or so a second), then maybe, maybe you would need wireless AC. But for most people, wireless N is fine. Plus, wireless AX is actually coming in 2019. But even then, N will still be fine for most people unless they have the luxury of a fiber connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We turned our home into a wireless hotspot with Century Link phone service. I am able to use this laptop with our wireless connection. My computer works fast and I have no problems using it wireless.
