What laptops out there have 3x3 or 4x4 MU-MIMO wave2 802.11ac WiFi built in? I need one for testing purposes.

Practically none. 3x3 exists but nobody's really adopting it other than some Apple models, and afaik there's no 4x4 m.2 solution at all yet. What's your use case?

"use case" lol that's a good joke.

There's no use case. It's literally an end user dick-waving about not getting the theoretical speeds of wifi devices.

That said, Netgear makes a USB adapter, "Nighthawk AC1900" model A7000, and I have to say it's not worth it. The built-in 2x2 802.11ac wifi built into my laptop performs 90% as well as the Netgear USB adapter, and the driver for the USB adapter is not very stable.
