Everyday, I see an increase of notebooks carried around on campus.
I am deciding whether to jump on the bandwagon

and get myself one next week.
It will be in good use and I'll end up being on the forum 15 hours a day. I usually visit a computer lab or the library around 3 to 4 times a day and carrying a laptop that has wireless access will be more productive and time efficient.
If the notebook has centrino cpu, can I simply access the wireless internet or do I need a separate pci card or something?
