Laptop wifi card swap

Hello guys!

I have a Dell inspiron 5558 with the i5 and nvidia 920M, 8gb ram. I need ubuntu for my work but i just don’t like it that much and once i had hackintosh in my main pc. I started to read about hackintoshing your laptop and i have a few questions. So it has a built in intel wireless card which is not comaptible at all with hackintosh i would like to swap it out but couldn’t find any information about the swapping, or if the manufacturer allow it. The second one is i heard that i can’t use my nvidia gpu which is okay for me but i don’t want it to keep sucking my battery is it a possibity to turn it off? As the other things i heard that everything works well for example sleap mode can be done with kexts, and all the other things.

  1. So could you help me to find out if my wifi card is swappable?

  2. Will i ever be able to use my nvidia 920m? If not will i be able to turn it off so it won’t drain my battery?

Thanks in advance
