in the simple term: wifi is a radio signal that replaces a wire. You dont have to have a wire to the laptop to see the internet so you can walk round the house or sit in the garden. You do have to have a wire to the modem/wifi router which can sit behind the TV out of sight.

Yes...

...as long as you don't need to be plugged-in because your laptop's battery life is rubbish.

And that you don't insist on using a normal mouse because you can't get on with the trackpad.

And you don't permanently have an external hard drive connected because your laptop has a feebly small hdd.

:D
