What you saying mate? Hes got a computer and it has wireless? If thats the case just get a laptop and the wireless card will pick it up.

If your saying the computer has wireless but your laptop hasnt, just buy a Wireless card! infact i have one for sale if u need one

If you need to get the main computer to bradcast a wireless signal so u can get stuff to connect you have to get a router or a wireless port thingy (which is cheaper) i have the later! and gotta say it rocks

Dunno mate it all depends what you want it for really, its like how long is a peice of string. If you want it for just surfing the net, can pick a cheap one up for about Ł400.

PM CraigN as hes always got ones for sale!

Bit dear for the spec's, and if anything goes wrong, you'll have issues getting replacement parts

Just search www.dell.co.uk for a reasonably cheap lappy
