Please type like an intelligent human. I know you aren't that stupid.

but to answer your question...

most laptops since 2004 or so come with build in wireless. You can be pretty certain that if you order a medium - high end laptop from a well-known company that it's going to come with one. I can personally recommend getting one with an Intel Centrino processor, though that might have been replaced with a newer one...my laptop is about a year and half old (sony vaio s360 8) )

but yeah, all Centrino notebooks come with build in wireless and the reason I recommend that over a Pentium or AMD is that it gets way better battery life. Mine got over 6 hours when it was new, though it's about time for me to get a new battery.

:sick:

If you have to ask, get someone else to buy your computer.

Intel chips would be better for laptops because AMD chips tend to run hotter. They're better in gaming towers and whatnot though.

not necessarily.

A) Some wifi "hotspots" are free. Bring your laptop and you're online. Free.
B) Some wifi hotspots aren't free. Like Starbucks'. They make you pay for a certain amount of time to be online. It's usually a fucking ripoff, and should only be used in dire circumstances.
C) Some wifi hotspots zones are simply protected with a password. Unless you're the CIA (who can crack WEP codes in under 5 minutes), you're out of luck.

I'm pretty sure that if you were buying a laptop it would say right in the description whether or not it had a wireless card. considering that a wireless card is a pretty important piece to the laptop puzzle, and that people want to know for sure if they are buying a laptop with one or not.

IMHO don't ever use one of those pay-to-use wireless hotspots. the only ones I've seen charge anywhere from $6 to $10 an hour, which is insanely expensive.

1)i thought mac was differnt but all it is is spin off of microsoft shit now?? like mac/word and macos--(mac ie) and shit??
2) so with mac u loose freedom of what software u can use right?? i thought u got more freedom but im just guessing that u cant use all the free shit u download like winamp and all the other free shit. can u use winamp or soulseek on mac?
3)macs basically just make it harder to do shit right?

No, Macs make it easier to do shit. In fact, if you're not adept at computer use, you should probably get a Mac. That said, if you know your way around the technological world, you'll probably get a hell of a lot more out of a PC. But for your technological neophyte, just get a Mac, because they dumb everything down for you, which sounds like just what you need.
