Using a Desktop Wifi card in a Laptop?

by cameron_cam1 . Updated 8 years, 5 months ago

Hi,

I have a Dell XPS13 9350 laptop whose internet connection is giving me problems. I have read that this device (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Wireless-AC-8265-NGWMG-BlueTooth-Brown/dp/B01MZA1AB2?tag=wpcentralb-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUdUnU41865YYw) is suitable as a replacement WiFi card. However, I would prefer to buy from Australia to receive it ASAP. Is the card in this desktop device (http://www.skycomp.com.au/intel-dual-band-wireless-ac-8265-2230-2×2-ac-bt-desktop-kit.html) the same as that on the amazon website? If so, can I disconnect the card from extraneous desktop components such as the antennae so as to use it in my laptop?

Thanks for any help
