Well firstly does your laptop have wireless already built in?

If so, you can use that but unless it's Wireless N you aren't going to get anywhere near 50Mbps.

That's where the adapter comes in, because it is rated N it will be faster, have greater coverage and you should achieve near 50Mbps.

Hope that makes sense, if your laptop's wireless is G standard you are unlikely to achieve more than 24Mbps.
