Explanation

Laptop wireless antennas are routed through the plastic bezel (the frame surrounding the display panel in the lid). This placement offers two key advantages: (1) the bezel is located at the highest point of the laptop, improving signal range and reception, and (2) plastic does not block or attenuate radio frequency signals the way metal does. The antenna wires run from the wireless card on the motherboard up through the hinges and into the lid bezel. Placing the antenna near the NIC (A), under the battery (B), or integrated into the motherboard (C) would significantly degrade wireless performance due to shielding from metal components and chassis.
