Could someone please confirm that this http://www.amazon.co.uk/AVerTV-AirExpress-Digital-Includes-Control/dp/B002MQKAW8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350625553&sr=8-1 will not fit into a Dell Inspiron 15-N5050

From what I can tell it doesn't have an express card slot http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-15-intel-n5050/pd

    I thought so but thanks for confirming it. The price has now gone up from £14 to £71 so I wouldn't buy it now anyway!

    I suppose Express cards are only for higher spec machines!

    unfortunately a lot of newer lappys don't come with such slots :(

    They were basically an idea that never took off. Had a couple of machines with them but never used it, had newer machines of the same spec since and they dont have them anymore
