MPE-AX3000H Wi-Fi 6 Mini PCI-E, which has under hood intel AX200 module

Wi-Fi 4(802.11bgn)+Bluetooth 4.0 (Single band) 1*1

Yes your laptop is compatible with 802.11ac (Wi-fi 5).

You may want to check further to see if you can use a Wi-fi 6 card, it could be a better option as it also has Bluetooth 5.0
