Is this Wi-Fi adapter made for desktops?

Hi! My wireless adapter crapped out just recently (a Zonet Zew1642D, for like $14.) It kinda fizzled and cracked (hypothetically) and then just stopped working altogether. Anyway, I'm in the business for a new wireless card, and I've found one that does bluetooth, too! Which is nice, because I won't have to worry about wires and cords when transferring files from my phone to my computer.
I found this card (a PCI express Intel) and I've seen similar cards by the same manufacturer that were made for laptops. The only difference, the laptop models were Mini-PCI, and this is a PCI express. I've got some teensy PCI-Express slots on my motherboard, so will this tiny card fit? The description on the card isn't very specific, and there are no reviews yet, so I'm confused. :$ It also doesn't help that I'm fresh in the DIY computer department, but I think I've done well so far. :3
 

That's what I wanted to make sure of. The specs say PCI-E but it looks like the other Mini-PCIe ones that I saw for laptops, so I wanted to make sure first.
