Hi Folks,

I am looking for a laptop that has G3 capabilities, then I can take it anywhere and connect to the internet.

I am not well clued up on thse things, Does anyone have any tips?

Not entirely sure what I ned to be able to use a G3 card on the laptop

Do you mean 3G, as in built-in wireless? Most new laptops come with this as standard. What's your budget?

Yep, that's the geezer.

I want to be able to connect to the internet via my laptop, from what I can see in the big stores you can get a card that you plug into the laptop, something about 52 or 54 capability- does that make sense?

In staples they had a few cheap laptops but could not find out if they had to slot to fit the 3G card in!!!

Ideally I want to spend less than £600. I will not be playing games etc. I just want a fast internet connection on the move.

Thanks Richie

Something like this will be OK. It has built-in wireless so no messing around with cards.

Thanks Richie

But am I being thick or is built in wireless different from a 3G card?

Can I still get a broadband speed internet connection by using the built in wireless, like I would with the 3G card? If so what do I do, just put a sim card in? ( on the correct contract of course)

Thanks

Brian

Crossed wires I think.

Have a look at this

Is that the sort of thing you mean? The mobile phone companies are practically giving them away at the moment, might be worth a chat with your current provider.

As for the laptop, let me know what you want and I'll see if I can do you a good deal.

Thanks Richie,

I ordered the one that you recommended from ebuyer yesterday, before reading your last post. Didn't realise that you sold laptops or I would of checked with you first

No problem.
