You need to be wearing a grounding strap, not magic gloves. The conductivity of your hands won't harm anything - skin resistance is very high unless your body is soaking wet. The gloves, in fact, may do more harm than good depending on how much static charge they create.

[@HaseebHeaven]

It good to wear gloves some internal components are very resistive to touch so its good practice to wear gloves.

Where is WiFi card? Can I change it to WiFi 6 in the future?. Is it under M2 SSD memory? Couldn't find it on Hero 3 or Scar 3.

[@Anduin-oy5ij]

Came here looking for the same info. The Wifi 6 card I was looking at on Amazon states "Do not use on a motherboard that contains an Intel 9560 CNVi part. I own this laptop and when looking under device manager under the wireless drop-down it states "Intel Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz". I believe CNVI indicates that the cpu handles part of the wifi/bluetooth load and so a wifi-6 adapter won't be compatible with this laptops motherboard. I could be wrong but that's my findings so far.
