Netbooks.
Prox:
How do they work?
Okay, what I want to know is do you need to pay for the netbook's internet if you already have internet for the PC.
Yes, I'm really that clueless.
Also I would appreciate if someone would tell me how does the internet work with netbooks. Like, do I have to buy some extra stuff or something?
Deathie:
Netbooks have a built-in wifi card. You won't have to purchase anything extra.
As long as you have access to a WiFi connection, you don't have to pay to go online.
Some providers, such as AT&T allow you to buy additional plans, like 3G roaming, where you can go online anywhere ypu want. For a price, of course.
Prox:
Wait, so with the WiFi connection I can only go to certain places?

You will only receive internet access in places that have WiFi signals.
You can buy a service for yourself that gives you WiFi everywhere, but I think you have to play monthly for that.
I myself own a netbook, and I think their speed and neatness is very underrated. I like mine a lot!

If you want to have a WiFi signal in your house, Make sure you have a WiFi router.
If you don't, buy one!

Considering you are completely clueless, the signal normally reaches a pretty far ways.
I can go to the edge of my back yard with mine and still get connection. (Which is kinda far)
I think the router says how far the signal will reach on the box or something.

So Netbook + WiFi router = permanent free access to the internet in and around my house?
Now how much do those routers cost and how can I get one?
