Buying a Laptop

Hi I have just been out to purchase a Laptop but I am a bit concerned about information given to me. I was told I would have to keep my PC to enable me to use the internet on the laptop, I am very surprised as I was buying a wireless Laptop.

Before I buy one can someone please advise as I am buying a Laptop to enable to dispose of my PC thanks Annie

    rubbish

    once your wireless modem/router is set up there is no need to have a PC connected to it, if you ever need to access the router in the future you can just plug an ethernet or USB cable in to the Laptop

    Surely so.
    Try Technoworld for cheap Acer laptops.
