CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 354

A user's laptop is having performance issues when the user downloads large files over the internet. Other users with newer laptops are not experiencing any performance issues. Which of the following components should the technician replace?

Answer options

• A. Hard drive
• B. Wi-Fi card
• C. RAM
• D. CPU

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, the Wi-Fi card, because performance issues during downloads are often related to network connectivity. If other users with newer laptops are not having similar issues, it suggests that the older laptop's Wi-Fi card may not support faster speeds or is malfunctioning. The hard drive, RAM, and CPU are less likely to be the cause since they do not directly impact internet download speeds.
