    Ok, so, this board does not have Wi-Fi. Who the fark cares. Too lazy to drop a LAN cable? Prefer to have any desktop (ATX) board to not even have Wi-Fi built in - the way it should be.

    A wifi card gives wifi, but more importantly, it gives bluetooth. wich is needed vor VR controlers

    moreover, most people don't have a structured network witch cables, plugs in the wall and switch in the basement (like I do), so wifi is a necessity for most people.

    Why not just give the consumer a choice, one with wifi, one without at a slightly lower price, done deal.

    You have a choice. Buy wifi module seperate, there are connectors for it on motherboard.
