Hey! It sounds like you're looking for the best ThinkPad option for gaming. Based on what others shared, the Intel 9260 seems to be a solid choice, while the AX200 is another popular recommendation. Consider your specific needs and preferences before deciding.

Intel 9260 is a card for AC and AX200 clearly points to an AX/WIFI6 model. The AX200 is only marginally pricier, yet I feel no need to skip it because it's more recent and improved. YET I recently replaced my desktops with AX200 models and saw many eBay ads claiming these cards failed in Lenovo Thinkpad laptops. For example, this listing shows a problem: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WiFi-6-AX200-...Swp0ZebHNq But I also remember some users bought it from that page and used it smoothly in their T and X series laptops. If you're after the AX card, probably search online to check experiences or consider getting the AC version if you just need basic function.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm ready to explore the AX200 further.
