Thanks a lot, that's much more reasonable than what I had seen so far.
I'm seeing very different specs on various websites, but the Lenovo
website makes everything clear: some models can be configured and
“IdeaPad Slim 3 Gen 10 (14" AMD)” is in that category, with wireless
options being:
 - Wi-Fi 6 2x2 AX and Bluetooth® 5.3
 - Wi-Fi 7 2x2 BE 160 MHz and Bluetooth® 5.4

(10 EUR difference…)

I sleep on this and probably order from Lenovo directly (making extra
sure what's under the hood).

I'm almost tempted by the idea of an ARM-based laptop, but I'm a little
afraid this might drag me into some different, possibly deeper rabbit
hole, so I'll investigate such things on my own dime, later… :)

Thanks for the offer, much appreciated. Hopefully that won't be needed.
:)
