In my opinion, laptops are the best technological conveniences of our time. Although I thoroughly appreciate my cell phone and microwave and all the other gadgets that make my life easier, there is no substitute for lap top computers. I have owned several lap top computers in my life and have enjoyed watching them get smaller and lighter every year. When it comes to staying connected, playing and working on the go, lap top computers can’t be beat.
Although notebook computers, like any other form of technology, become obsolete the moment they hit store shelves, I doubt that you will notice any inequity. Lap top computers have longer battery lives these days and some only weigh a few pounds. They are incredibly convenient for any person who uses a computer regularly. Whenever I had an important term paper due I knew that even if the power went out I would be fine.
I still use a PC at my house for surfing the web and other things. I use my notebook for the bulk of my word processing projects because I feel that they are safer there than on my PC. I, like many other people, have experienced complete computer meltdowns on a PC. It is usually due to a virus caught while surfing the web. I have learned to keep my notebook computers away from the Internet so that my files are better protected. I keep everything of importance on my lap top and use my PC for more dangerous endeavors.
I think that owning a notebook computer is a must. I have found that having two computers, one for Internet use and one for more important things, has been a great idea. Laptops are very valuable and should be protected. I transfer information from my lap top to my PC if I want to send it over the Internet. This way, my precious lap top never touches the web and is never threatened by hackers or viruses.
If you have been looking at laptops you already know that there is a wide array of them and they all come with different features. You will have to shop around to find the right computer for you but I have been able to get by successfully on lap top computers that are in the $500-$600 range. If you wait around until the Christmas holiday shopping season, I am confident you will find yourself a great deal.

Laptop computers?
Are there any laptop computers on the market that can conect to the internet without being in the vicinity of any base unit or phone line.If so how does one pay for the service and how much does it cost . Delboy old UK serfer
Just about every cell phone service offers wireless internet now. They even have satellite service.

Many cellular companies such as Verizon, Cingular, and Sprint have PC cards that use cell towers to gain internet access. It will usualy run you about a hundred dollars for the card and forty-five dollars a month for the service. I don’t think any computers have such a card built in because you have to get the cards from the cellular companies.

you can get broadband internet connection but i don’t think thats what you meant

You would have to get service and a plug in card from a cellphone company. It is expensive.

all you need is something like the sprint mobile broadband card

First of all any laptop with a wireless card (Adapter) will do the job. Now, if you don’t have acess to wireless network, you can sign up with a provider for wireless access service. Assuming that you are in UK, you might want to check out the plans offerred by http://connectwireless.co.uk/ . The prices are listed on their website. In USA, verizon wireless offers some similar plans.

Im sure you can as my brother in law has one, but to be honest lap tops arn’t that good, they don’t have the memory like good old solid computers, spend your money on a "proper" computer as you’ll be saving later on!

by the use of scratch card just as in a cellular phone

usually it is your internet provider that charges you for using wifi zones if that is what you mena. BT internet has openzone download limits for using the wifi services in different places. Wifi ues the same setup as your home network but is usually much faster as it has to deal with more users. You can get 3g cards from Orange and Vodafone which are hideously expensive and only work where you get reception for the mobiles, they use the same network as the mobile

When you are ready to buy a new system, go to http://www.stupidcheapcomputers.net. I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.
Microsoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January. It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released. The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).
Anyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer. You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926. That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.
I have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding. Those guys blow my mind.
Good luck!
