    I know that the new SXPS16 comes with the new Intel 6250 cards. I was wondering if I could replace my 5100 AGN as a simple plug and play swap?

    Yep, both use only 2 antennas. Should be as easy as pie!

    Has anyone swaped out the wifi card on the new Dell XPS 17? If so, I would appreciate any info, mine is on it's way but the card I wanted (6300) was not an option at the time I purchased.
