2nd hand laptop

[netibiza]

It is possible (or easy) to convert a used laptop into wifi, that is, if I don't have a phone line at home, but can use in a wifi cafe? Thanks

Just plug a wireless usb dongle into your laptop and install the software for it using the driver cd that comes with it.
One second to plug in and a couple of minutes to install the software.

Well, that seems easy enough, just is it possible on any laptop, and are these dongle -type wifi thingies available anywhere?

If your laptop has a usb port then the dongle will fit and work.

They are available from any pc shop, such as PC World and Amazon.

Thank you both for your help! xx

second hand tends to mean slightly older ... but are you certain that you don't have it built in already?
