Thinking of getting a laptop... need internet connection help.

[kt2311]

I have Comcast through my desktop computer, but I'm going to college next fall and I'm planning on getting a laptop soon... most likely a Dell Inspiron. I honestly don't know very much about laptops to begin with, but this is the most confusing thing to me. I need to know what internet connection is best... like should I stick with Comcast, or get AOL or something else for the laptop. Pretty much, any info you can give me is highly appreciated. & also, sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. I tried to find what I thought matched this best.

Thanks so much!!

Welcome to the forum!

Chances are, the school you attend will have internet access.

If the laptop you obtain has a built in Ethernet port (like a phone jack plug in, only six wires instead of four) and a built in wireless card, you'll be all set to access whatever network the school has in place.

Most laptops come with these features, now.

Oh, ok... Thank you! That cleared up a lot.
