1. A computing device comprising:
a frame dimensioned to encompass electronic components;
an overmold window overmolded to a gap of the frame to cover the gap such that an exterior surface of the overmold window is flush with an exterior surface of the frame; and
a swappable antenna component bonded to an interior surface of the overmold window, wherein the swappable antenna component is electronically coupled to the electronic components, the swappable antenna component comprising:
a carrier dimensioned to fit to an interior of the overmold window; and
an antenna trace disposed in a conductive layer of the carrier.
