I might get an Asus PCE-AC68 wireless PCIE card. The main reason that I am getting this is because it supports up to 1300 mbps of wireless ac. But this is a pcie card and i have a laptop. Is it possible for there to be an adapter that connects a pcie card into an usb 3.0 port or an expresscard port? And if so, which adapter should i buy?

Edit: Can an expresscard fit into a normal sd card slot?

P.S DO NOT RECOMMEND ME STICK WITH THE INTERNAL WIRELESS CARD I ALREADY DECIDED TO GO TO THE EXTREME BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I AM. Thanks

Have not seen anything like what you are looking for, and upon doing a search found no results.
Most likely the PCE-AC68 wont work with your laptop, because of how big it is.

For laptop (assuming you have an Wireless AC router and your laptop currently does not support AC), i recommend this for wireless/bluetooth.
Just noticed when looking a bit further that there is a revised version.

You also need to check that your laptop is compatible.

"Please note the following: *The card requires 2x antennas for the wifi and bluetooth to be operational *We can't confirm if the card will work with your specific model of laptop. Please search the MFG's website for details on your hardware and to determine if they have a white list for the wifi cards or if the BIOS is unlocked and will accept any card."
