laptop info please

I am looking to buy a laptop and do not have a clue what to look for some ideas would be great. Its all confusing to me , do I need anything special built into the unit for wireless internet or can any one adapt to wireless?
Whats a good amount of memory and other things to look at I have been looking on ebay.
Thanks so much I value your thoughts.

Hi Della check this link:

Look for a duo processor, with 1g of ram and a wireless card. A good one will be a intel pro 3495 wireless card.'

I hope the link worked for you.

I bought mine there, is a refurbished one and it works great! And it came with a full year warranty just like a brand new one.

Dell refurb cost more than

their new one sometimes. The main thing is your budget and what your need/usage. Let me know if I can help. I've been trading (off-leased, surpluses) computers & printers on the side for over a year now.

Re: Dell refurb cost more than

You are right Andy. Sometimes they are. But when I purchased my laptop, I saved almost 500.00dollars compared to a brand new one with same equipted. I wanted a 17 inch, with the
true life widescreen, lot s of ram and a big HD.

I have connection to wholesalers and could probably beat what you find out there with a small commission fee.

I have 2 Apple iMac 12" notebooks. Got both off ebay for less than $1000. Both have Airport installed and get high speed internet access everywhere.
