Does Nighthawk r7000 has implicit beamforming?
I want to know does Nighthawk r7000 dual band AC1900 wireless router have implicit beamforming or explicit?
and my laptop has "802.11 a" Is that good, or I have to buy "802.11a/c" adapter.(specially for beamforming +).

you need a AC client for beamforming it's part of the AC standard. As for other question I believe that feature is more of a Client option meaning if the client has it netgear AC routers support it. Been awhile since I read up on it but I thought it was a
"Netgear" feature meaning you'll need a netgear client.
Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices
yes under advanced it have it and enabled.
if you dont have high speed stick to it But if you have ac enabled mobiles it will get more speed that the lappy.
One example of beamforming WiFi card is Intel AC7260. It gives slight improvement in throughput, don't expect miracle.
