I’m looking for a new WiFi card for my laptop. I want an AC card. Please recommend the best. 

 

Also, desktop WiFi cards won’t fit laptops right? Just wondering.

 

Thanks!

what card is in your laptop now? just figure out what kind of slot it is using, and then dig around intel products that fit the same slot.

It depends on the laptop you have, Lenovo and HP usually have WhiteLists that only allow certain cards

| Case: Custom       | Graphics Card: PNY GTX 770

| Processor: Intel Xeon X5675 x2        

| Ram: 30GB      | PSU: 800W Redundant PSU

You need to see if your manufacture white lists cards in the BIOS. If they do, you can only use cards on the White List. A list should be provided at the Manufactures website. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
