I actually thought all 2012 models were fine ( ? ) but otherwise is it possible to upgrade the wireless/bluetooth chip to a newer one?

My old 2008 Mac (years ago) came without one and I spent an hour or so fitting it for wireless after buying the kit on eBay so I'm thinking maybe I can swap out the chip in this 2012 Mac for a newer model that's compatible with LE support (and thus Airdrop)
