## Hardware Replacements:
|
|
|
|
|
### WiFi and Bluetooth:
|
|
|
|
|
Replace factory Intel wifi module with a MacOS compatible one. Make sure that the card is of M.2 form factor. I replaced it with a Broadcom BCM94352Z.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### M.2 Hard Drive Replacements:
|
|
|
|
|
Replace factory Samsung PM981 with preferably a SATA M.2 SSD, as it is more power efficient and plays nicer with APFS than an NVMe M.2 SSD.
