DW1830 3x3 802.11ac 2.4/5GHz + Bluetooth 4.1 - Anyone got this yet?

[tilhasbb]

I'm looking to purchase a new laptop and I saw Dell is offering this new wireless card.
DW1830 3x3 802.11ac 2.4/5GHz + Bluetooth 4.1

Does this mean I can connect at 1300Mbps ?
Also has anyone had any experience with this? chipset, range, etc ?

I just got the

• Dell Wireless 1830 - BCM43602 + BCM20703A1 (DW1830 Bluetooth 4.1 LE)

And the connectors are too small and my laptop can't connect to them. I have the intel 7260AC card, which i thought are the standard small pogo pins. these are half the size and half the width also they are on the opposite side of the card.

Is there an adapter or it's the wrong card??

The dell card in the pic looks like NGFF, not Mini-PCI...

I just got the XPS 15 with this Dell DW1830 card. I can't find any info on what exactly it supports though, beyond 3x3. I do take it that 3x3 means it won't support AC2400, but I'd really like to know whether or not it supports MU-MIMO. Not sure if there's a way to test for that.

the old antenna connector is U.FL (mini-PCIe half/full)
the new antenna connector is MHF4 (M.2 E/A Key)
