Hi this is going to sound very stupid. But I have to ask since I have never really had a laptop for one and secondly never had a wireless connection. .. if you buy a laptop that has Wireless 8.11G or whatever it is. That simply means it has wireless capabilities . I assume and in order to actually use that capability.. you need to get a PCI card adapter to plug in to use the wireless network . is this correct or no?? again I am clueless about the laptop stuff. Well heck wireless too LOL I have always used wired Pc’s.. thanks for your help.

Nope. The wireless 801 b/g is your network adapter. It's built in around the screen. Well the antenna is.

You just need a wireless hotspot and you should be good to go.

You could try a Starbucks or a Borders book store just to try it out.
