wireless laptop spec required

Expand Post »
Hi, Andi here, new to this forum and in need of a wee bit help. I am fairly good with computers in the setting up, configuring and software side, but the techie side for the net is a bit new.

Q. I am thinking of buying a laptop, but I do not wish to have to connect to cable or telephone line for the internet. So, what are all the gizmos I will need in and as well as my laptop to go connecting anywhere, anytime?

All assistance with thanks,

Cheers, Andi

Im not sure, but you could probably get more responses if you posted this in the "tech talk" section of this forum.

All you will need is an 802.11x card, which most laptops seem to come with in their default configuration. With XP (SP2), wireless is really easy to setup.

As for a wireless network, thats a whole 'nother story.
