Regarding notebook adapters, is there really any difference between adapters and mini pci cards. In terms of range, connection, etc?

My friend says there is, I say different? They both work on the same principle, only the mini pci card comes pre-installed.

Any takes on this or heard of any tests between the two?

most laptops with the mini pcis have better antennas. toshiba puts the antenna in the lcd area. I find I get a much better signal than with a pc card nic.

there are some pc card nics with external antennas. you may want to look for those too.
