okay, so my dad is planning to buy another laptop but he needs wireless internet EVERYWHERE, even if hes like in the middle of a field in Georgia,
he also needs a computer with a lot of GB because we are planning to use that computer to download korean dramas, Im planning to just get an external harddrivve but that computers going to be mostly at his workplace, so I wont be able to transfer all the files onto the external harddrive unless I go to his workplace [which I will never do] anyone have any good suggestions? we were looking into Hp dv9700t oo yea and he dosent want to spend more than $1,500, but his main concern in having wireless internet EVERYWHERE, isnt there like a card or something to do that? anyways could I get some suggestions :]]]]]]

I love HP computers. I'm no true computer geek but I thought you had to have a wireless pc card like from Verizon Wireless so that you can get internet anywhere. I know people usually subscribe to the internet service & pay about $50 a month because there isn't always a wireless network around to connect to.

the card connects to your cellphone service so check with your provider.  f**kin' sexy for 1.5k, i'd get a vaio fz = $1k 2.4ghz core 2 duo = +$50 4gb ram = +$100 200gb hd = +$70 blu-ray read only = +$200 xbrite hi-color = +$50 nvidia geforce 8400m total= -$1.5k |

www.newegg.com Very good deals. I customized my current computer and bought everything off that website and its better than an Alienware. Half the price too! :]]
