Those small AI modules use the same form factor as standard WiFi cards so you don't really need a specialized hat, you could just plug that module straight into many N100 machines in lieu of WiFi.
edit: as mentioned below, make sure the machine you buy has a socketed WiFi module.
That might not work; I recently disassembled a mini PC with an Intel N95, and the wifi chip was soldered and integrated into the mainboard. Now, if the SSD was NVMe, I suppose you could use that for PCIe (possibly with some sort of adapter?) and boot from some other form of storage, of course.

Yeah just make sure to buy one of the models with a 2.5” drive for storage, or one with two NVME slots. Then you get to keep WiFi as well.
