I am going out to buy a new laptop. I really want one that I can use something like boingo or some such for the open wireless as I am surrounded by coffee shops, libraries and so on and don't necessarily need an actual service if I understand correctly.
So, tell me what it is I'm asking for so I don't look any more stupid than I have too! :lulz:
Thanks in advance!!!
Wifi
'wireless' will trigger a lot of salestypes to try and sell you a cell network contract. I don't think they sell notebooks without wifi anymore.
Seriously.
hell, i think the toothbrush i bought yesterday has wifi...
My cat has wifi. Or did, until we had to pin his ears back to stop them from getting sunburnt all the time. Signal was never quite as good after that.
Any laptop has WiFi. Figure out what you want beforehand, make a list of system specs, and stick to that list. Do never buy the extended warranty, no matter how hard the salesman beg/plead/cry.
Edit: Better yet, get a techie friend to come with you. Bribe him with food.
yeah. techies are usually suckers for free pizzas.
it's conditioned into us from engineering school.
and we have a pavlovian response to set up the hardware/software while eating it, so you'd get some bonus use...
So which one of y'all is gonna come to St. Louis and be my techie friend?
Food and alcohol provided :D
there was a mass geek exile in MO?
you seriously don't know any techies there?
