This really depends on how you intend to use your laptop, if you are doing to find yourself alot in places where signal coverage might be inadequate (random areas) then you are better off getting something that will help you (external antenna) vs. places where there will almost always be decent coverage (starbucks, your house, cafes, airports, etc) ... however I notice the prices for laptops w/ builtin wifi have the included marketing costs with them :-) So it might also be cheaper to get a Seneo card w/ ant + 2nd generation laptop.
