LAPTOPS!!!!

I wonder if anyone can help me, i have just got a new laptop which has internet capabilities on it. I was wondering what i would need to bring with me to Orlando for it to work in my apartment.

Any help gratefully received

thanks

An ethernet cable is all you need.

Bringing a wireless router makes life easier though!

 

I think this is the 4th thread on laptops and computers?
There's cables in the rooms. If you have a mac with wireless and an airport, those will work too.


Anyway, Im off to the airport now to spend the weekend with my boyfriend! WOOO!!! :-*

 

I also got a new laptop the other day. I am planning on getting a wireless router when I arrive (hopefully splitting the cost with other people in my apartment). ;D

 

oooooh snow white always pointing things out hehehe
(C'MAAANNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I'm bringing my laptop and I totally forgot about buying one of those ethernet cable thingys........I wonder if I should buy it before I go? Or when I get there....hmmm

 

Buying an ethernet cable is not so expencive...u canbuy it in orlando or at home! I've somehere in Italy so i'll bring one of them... -1 things to buy!

 

ebay!!! i can't imagine life without the deals on there... all these essentials you could order like a week before from home and get them shipped to the Commons!~

 

anybody insuring theirs?

Do we have to pay for internet access?

 

My laptop is insured under the uni insurance i got for my placement.

I already had my ethernet cable because I needed one last year at uni.

Make sure you get a long one, then you can have ur laptop in ur room rather than on the desk in the living room like me

 

A good alternative but a little more expensive is the wireless "airport' from Apple Computers it also works on PC's or laptops, all that is needed is the "airport" and a wireless network card in the computer.

 

I've never heard of the "airport" before, but it looks pretty cool on the apple website. But how is this different than a standard wireless router such as this:

It's about half the price, except you can't play music wirelessly?

 

Thats a tad Expensive init!?

 

Like all mac things, It is very very easy to use. No Gatespeak required. Pc's and Mac's can use it at the same time, and it LOOKS nice as well, is very small and compact easy to transport.

 

Hey guys, its me again. No, I havent dropped off the face of the planet, lol, Im in Toronto with my boyfriend.
Anyway, I Brought my airport to Toronto with me but am not using it because aparently this college thingy has wireless, it just doesnt like my mac.

Anyway, the airport is amazing to use and works on PC and Macs and I think that they're actually cheaper than a router and, not to mention, stylish!
I highly reccomend them to anyone!
Well, its late here and I should get some sleep.
Night y'all!

yeah do wee pay for internet access in our rooms?

 

no, it's part of the many things included with the rent.

 

I think, but I dont know for sure, it's free.

I bought a wireless router on boxing day for like 10 dollars. Normally they cost from 60-100 though.

 

Internet access is included in your rent so you don't need to worry about paying for it.

here's a thing...

Why do people who live in the commons have washers and dryers in the apartment?

But those who live in Vista have to use communal ones and pay?

The boys next door are lazy and use the dishwasher to wash their clothes.... hehehe ;D

 

There's an idea!
