Wifi problems on a MBP again? For fuck's sake... I'll probably make do with what I have for a bit longer or find a 2015 refurb.

Or go all bohemian and spin up linux on a chromebook.

They actually reverted back to 2x2 MIMO for the wifi cards. The previous generation 13" had 3x3 MIMO (antennas), now the new one has 2x2 MIMO. So less theoretical maximum speed.

Is there a benefit to reverting to 2x2?
