This may not be possible at all as with a few exceptions, all recent Intel
Wireless AC cards come in a different form factor (NGFF). Also, considering
that this is a new computer, it may not be wise opening it up as that may
void the warranty. Even if he/she will decide to open the casing, this will
involve taking out the board as the wifi card is not accessible from the top.
Since this is a desktop computer (that supposedly will be mounted on the
backside of the monitor), I think it should be wiser to simply use a USB
wireless dongle here. So no, in this case I does not recommend trying to
replace the internal wifi card.

What are you talking about? What "special drivers"?!
