I know there is a topic on this already Intel 8260 vs killer 1535
link: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/intel-8260-vs-killer-1535.782842/
but I created a new post because the models are different. I buying a New Alienware 17 R4 and as we all know those are perfect little machines that you never have to open, BUT since I am opening it up I might as well do the modifications required to make it better. I have the options of keeping to Killer 1435, upgrading or ordering a new Wifi card.
I am thinking of ordering a new Wifi card. So I have a few questions.
1: Is there any difference between 8260 vs 8265
2: which is better Killer or Intel]
3: why

I agree go with the Intel 8265, the difference between the 8260 vs 8265 is that 8265 is the latest card from Intel and therefore will have all of the latest features.
The Killer Wireless cards work well when they actually work and typically have a longer range and stronger connection than Intel when they work properly. However, currently there are many issues with Windows 10 and the new anniversary updates with the killer wireless cards. I would say until this issue is corrected stay with going with a Intel Wireless card. -

That being said, I'd still pick the Intel card if given the choice. -

Also, @Mr.Koala main selling point of the Killer card is that the Wifi connection is more stable which it is in my case... My Intel wifi cards were never as stable!!
