How do I shop for a laptop w/o the external card to connect at hotspots and the possiblity of wireless service

so, I see some of the newer laptops have the wireless stuff internal. what do I need to look for when shopping for those laptops?
I like the idea of free internet at hotspots and when prices come down I would like to have a wireless service connected to the laptop.

Any laptop that has an integrated wireless card.

You want a laptop that is 'CENTRINO'. Centrino means the laptop has a Pentium M Processor (Core Duo or Solo) AND the built-in Intel Pro-Wireless card. Toshibas are great. You can get a cheaper one with Celeron processor and the built-in card. good luck :-)
