can this be plugged into a laptops mini pci express port where the wireless card was?

Yes, that is the target port. Not as low form level though, so it wouldn't fit if there are covers or other things that would normally go over a wifi card.
1592995
Yes it could, but with the sata cables/connectors it might be a tight fit inside a laptop.

Yes it can, but you'll have a hard time fitting in the cables, even with 90° connectors. Also, any Sata device plugged into this is considered to be removable and can be accidentally disabled through the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" control icon in your system tray in Windows. Requires power-off shutdown to get it re-enabled. YMMV I replaced the Intel wireless card with this on a mini-ITX motherboard to get a total of 6 sata controllers in the system. Plug and Play with Windows 7

You would have to open the PC to install the pci card. With this it just plugs into your USB socket.

it is not but you can buy a wireless card for it rather cheap. i would suggest buying a pcie card as they preform much better then a usb one would and im assuming your building a machine for gaming so your connection may be important.

No, you can not. This is a big size card for desktops. It was not designed for laptops

yes but you have tu use the 6 pin power adapter conector and don't forget is a PCI Express 2.0

You can use a USB or an internal wireless adapter. For example, TP-LINK TL-WN881ND Wireless N300 PCI Express Adapter, 2.4GHz 300Mbps, Include Low-profile Bracket or Medialink Wireless-N USB Adapter - 802.11n, 2.4 ghz - Compatible with Windows 8 / Windows 7 / Windows Vista / Windows XP (150 Mbps)

Get a wireless adapter for the pci-e slot. That way you have integrated wireless capabilities and spare a usb slot. Also pci is much faster then usb.http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN881ND-Wireless-Express-Low-profile/dp/B0079XWMEI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid;=1394923005&s;r=8-4&keywords;=pci+wireless+card

Not really. you could physically plug it in, but it is custom fit for a few specific laptops.

Probably, as I see your machine has a PCI Express slot. Not sure if size might be an issue though, as my machine is built in a large phantom case.

in back of your laptop just remove your wireless card and plug it in the same place after diagnostic finish plug your wireless card again...

All you do is plug it into your PCI express spot. For me this was right next to my graphics card. All you do is line up the card and the spot, plug it in and then that's all.

I have a 54 mm port in my HP DV7 laptop and the Express card inserts properly and works although I rarely use it because of battery limits.

The card will plug into Also you wPCI-Express (PCI-E) X1 or X16 slots. Usually these are marked on the mother board. PCI-E X1 is smaller and PCI-E X16 is a bigger slot. I can't answer with respect to brand name computers. Also, you will need to install the driver before the card will work properly. The driver will be provided with the hardware by Anker. I have no problems with this card.

The brilliant thing about computers is all the connection ports are standard. By googling the card you have, I can tell it's a dual antenna mini-pci-e card. Most modern laptops will accept this unless it boast extra features like 3g or 4g networking. My laptop didn't have that but I wanted bluetooth and try out the 5Ghz band. I tell ya, bluetooth is awesome for quick transfers from a cell phone. I run windows 8 as well, if you do get it, don't forget to uninstall the drivers for the old one. Helps keep things looking normal.

answer to this question is very simple its the same as a desktop computer. if the card is the same type as your slot in your laptop and the card will physically fit in the space provided for the wifi card then yes it will work. Its just a PCI card fitting into a PCI slot, very simple.

No. You plug it into a PCMCIA slot located usually on one side of your laptop computer. Some laptop PCMCIA slots will accommodate two PCMCIA cards.
