Text anti-aliasing is going goofy mode. The settings and/or screen res are likely different on your laptop thus why it doesn't do it there. 

Yeah, that's not quite how it works.
 
For one, if e.g. your router supported 866Mbps speed on 802.11ac, a connected device would practically only get half of that speed, because WiFi is not a duplex-medium, it's a simplex-medium; you can only send or receive, not both at the same time. Secondly, the connecting device itself also has to support 866Mbps over WiFi. It's not enough for only the router or only the device to support high speeds -- they BOTH have to. Thirdly, practically all WiFi-router-manufacturers lie about their maximum supported speeds by calculating 2.4Ghz-speed + 5GHz-speed and reporting that as the router's speed -- that's not how it works. Your device will only operate on one or the other frequency, not both of them at the same time.

Cheapo routers/APs also lie in the sense that they might support accessing the media (RF) at some rate, but not actually be able to transmit/receive data at that rate due to bottlenecks somewhere else in the router's system. Kinda like having a gigabit LAN and accessing a fast SSD but through USB 2.0... you'll still only get 160Mbps.
 
I've got a high end WiFi 6 router, and while my phone doesn't support WiFi 6 I still get 400Mbps over WiFi.

I'm going off to college this fall and am looking for a laptop for portability and taking notes. My maximum budget is $1500 but am trying for something closer to $1000. I am bringing my desktop for gaming and light CAD work in my dorm so graphics are not a priority. (Skylake i5 6500, MSI 1060 6G ARMOR, with 8GB of RAM for reference) For the screen I would prefer 1080p IPS or better (60hz is fine). I would like 8GB or more of DDR4 RAM. I want it to be Windows 10 and I'm fine with Home, I don't need Pro. The main features I'm looking for are that it has an M.2 SSD and decent battery life. Basically I'd like something fast and modern that doesn't have to game (if it can I don't want it to look like a stereotypical gamer's laptop). I appreciate any help.
