FC0-U71 Infrastructure Practice Question
A company is deploying new laptops for employees. The IT department requires that the laptops have fast storage, support for external 4K monitors, and the ability to connect to a wireless network. Which THREE of the following should be included?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) (A) is correct because it is a current wireless networking standard that provides the required wireless network connectivity with improved throughput and efficiency. NVMe M.2 SSD (C) is correct because NVMe drives attached via the M.2 interface deliver the fast storage the IT department requires, far exceeding SATA HDD performance. HDMI 2.0 port (D) is correct because HDMI 2.0 supports 4K video output at up to 60 Hz, satisfying the external 4K monitor requirement. SATA HDD (B) is not appropriate because mechanical hard drives are slow and do not meet the fast-storage requirement. Bluetooth 4.0 (E) is not required because the scenario asks for wireless network connectivity, which is provided by Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth, and Bluetooth 4.0 is an older standard.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
Why this is correct
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) provides the wireless network connectivity the IT department requires, operating in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with OFDMA and higher throughput than older 802.11 standards. It directly satisfies the laptop's stated wireless networking requirement.
- ✗
SATA HDD
Why it's wrong here
A SATA HDD is a spinning magnetic disk delivering far lower random read/write throughput than the fast storage requirement demands. It is tempting because SATA is a legitimate storage interface, but it would be correct only where capacity per pound matters more than speed, such as bulk backup drives.
- ✓
NVMe M.2 SSD
Why this is correct
NVMe M.2 SSDs communicate over PCIe lanes rather than the SATA bus, delivering far higher read and write speeds and lower latency. This satisfies the fast storage requirement, unlike a SATA SSD or mechanical hard drive.
- ✓
HDMI 2.0 port
Why this is correct
HDMI 2.0 carries enough bandwidth (18 Gbps) to drive a 4K display at 60 Hz over a single cable. This satisfies the external 4K monitor requirement, whereas HDMI 1.4 caps 4K at 30 Hz and DisplayPort alternatives differ in connector.
- ✗
Bluetooth 4.0
Why it's wrong here
Bluetooth 4.0 provides short-range peripheral pairing, not the IEEE 802.11 wireless network connectivity the requirement names. It is tempting because Bluetooth is wireless, but it would be correct only if the laptops needed to connect headsets, mice or keyboards rather than join a Wi-Fi network.
