Do I need a network card or modem??
I have the opportunity to get a special bundled Dell through my work. There are very few options to upgrade and I've noticed that the final package does not have a network card or modem. It of course has an internal wireless card. I have cable internet so don't need the modem, but do I need a network card? I plan on networking the computer to my desktop (wirelessly). Am I going to regret buying a computer w/out a modem or network card? Do I need a network card if I want to hook the laptop up to the cable directly? I'm getting a great price (I think) $830 for this bundle. Is there anything else I should be getting? Here's the specs, thanks in advance:
