The Wifi adaptor is almost always an m2 adaptor (M2 PCIe slot) inside the laptop and is replaceable. Will's referenced laptop is I think a corporate laptop and the expensive corporate models typically come with the intel wifi adaptor. It it replaceable similar to ram, you might have to take off the entire back cover to replace it, but on at least some laptops that also has to come off for ram and hd's. You should be able to find videos on replacing it for a few models, and you may be able to find a replacement video for the model you want.
