    Hi, just a very quick question.

    My friend just got wireless broadband installed but his laptop doesn't have a wireless network card.

    Which is better: a wireless cardbus or a USB adapter?

    Thanks alot.

    Wireless cards are better I reckon because:

    1 - The more secure in the laptop (won't break easily like a USB adapter).
    2 - Leaves your laptop with more free USB ports
    3 - Even though they're bigger, it wont extrude as much on the lappy.
