T tomred Registered User Messages 42 4 Nov 2007 #1 Hi, I was wondering if somebody to explain a bit about 3G. I an in the process of buying a laptop & wonder if I should get one with inbuilt 3G capability. I do not have Broadband in the house so I was wondering if 3G would be an alternative? or should I just get Broadband into the house. Any help much appreciated

I wouldn't go out of my way to get this feature - just get a 3G modem later on from your chosen provider if you want.
