Wireless built in

Please excuse my ignorance, but.... when a spec for a computers states wireless built in, does this mean that you can connect to the internet without using a dongle?

    yes it does :D pc/laptop will have a wireless networking card inside it, so you just switch on (often a physical switch on a lappy) and away you go :)

    It means your computer can pick up wireless signals and you still need a router which can establish a broadband connection.
