dont worry, most computers dont have 3g wireless built in. You will still be able to use the 3g dongle. Unless its something weird like a ZX Spectrum or something!

Actually ginty, the 3g dongle is its own wireless system so you could have had either. Very few Desktop computers have wireless and require a modem or a dongle plugged in. If it is a laptop you are looking for then a wireless system is better because you can use it wherever you go as long as there is a wireless provider.
