I finally discarded my old 6-year old Laptop and bought a Sony Vaio FS115S yesterday. One of the important features that I was told would be useful was its [u]built-in wireless facility </u> for internet 'hotspots'. I am not sure how this works. I travel a lot wihtin the UK as well as outside, especially to the US. What is the easiest and quickest (I understand that the two may not necessarily go together) way to access Internet in such situations?
I have been given conflicting advice by my colleagues. One tells me to get an account with "BT Openzone" while another said that it would be of very little use abroad and so an unnecessary expense; the latter also told me that I do not need an account and can use the modem or router cable (both provided) to access internet points in hotels etc or simply access their wireless facility on their terms. I'm afraid all this a bit Greek and Swahili to me and would be grateful if some technofile would help me.
