Shellon Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I need to be mobile on my computer taking online classes. What do I need to add to my computer to do that? Any suggestions so that the salesguy doesn't talk me into things I don't need, are appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckeer Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) Are you buying a laptop or are going to use an existing one? Any new laptop should have an ethernet hard wire connection (802.11b) and an built in wireless (802.11g) Most inexpensive laptops have therese standard now. If you are using an existing laptop. You can buy either pccard adapters or USB, Wireless will probably be the most usefull. The place you are taking classes from probably has suggestions/requirements. They might want you to use xp pro for instance. Edited December 28, 2005 by ckeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
