    Any reservation Number? London?
    My thanks will be £10 lunch, drinks or whatever you do with it!

    I'll make a dvd, video clip music portatile of it!
    What about having it in the canteen!

    I know as soon as I'll arrive
    Everything is possible
    Cause no one has to hide
    Beyond the invisible.

    Close your eyes
    Just feel and realize
    It is real and not a dream
    I'm in you and you're in me.

    It's beyond the invisible
    Do you know who sing it? Sure you do!

    So, as this laptop has a AMD Mobile Sempron processor, is it wireless out of the box? (without a pcmcia card)?

    but actually its £115(yes £115) just to buy the paper reservation slip, still got to buy it yourself. But a 3 day auction for something to be collected by tomorrow night is a bit silly

    that's outrageous - it never ceases to amaze me how low some people will stoop :mad:

    Establishing a wireless connection may require additional hardware, software, or services that must be purchased separately. Wireless connectivity can only be achieved in the vicinity of a public access point, which has a limited number of locations. Connecting to a wireless network may reduce your system performance, functionality and battery life.


    From AMD's website.

    From what I can see, this laptop doesn't come with a wireless network card, built in or otherwise.

    From that same page:

    The Mobile AMD Sempron processor is compatible with all currently available 802.11a, b and g wireless solutions,

    In other words, it's compatible with all wireless solutions, but they aren't necessarily built in. On the link in my last post, it states that other hardware may be required. The Packard Bell doesn't come with a built in wireless lan.

    The AMD Mobile Sempron processor is basically just a processor purposely made for notebooks. It's not an indication of wireless connectivity straight out of the box. Some notebooks will come with built in wireless lan, others won't. The one from PC World doesn't.
