intel 5300 and 5350 are the same, except that the 5350 has a wimax feature. The wifi feature of these two cards are the same.

thanks, so if I already have MIMO antenna the best option will be to buy the one with the wimax?

Unless you have specific use for wimax, then don't pay extra for the 5350, you may never use it. I am very happy with my 5350 but never use wimax, never will.
