Any new laptop will have built-in wireless, so you won't need to purchase anything for the laptop. If you plan on connecting only to other wireless networks (at the local coffee shop, library, book store, etc.), then you don't have to purchase or do anything at all. Just bring your laptop to where the wireless access is and start it up. Your laptop will automatically recognize the network and try to connect.
If, however, you want to set up a wireless network at home, then you'll need to also buy a wireless router. I'd recommend a Linksys Wireless-G router, which will run you $50 to $60. Hook it up properly and you'll also have wireless Internet at home. Assuming, of course, that you already have high speed Internet at home.

If you are buying a new laptop, it should have wifi built-in. So where ever wireless networks are available, you can have wireless Internet.

A broadband card. This lets you have the internet just by plugging in a card into your laptop.
Places like starbucks have WLAN *WiFi* but it is only temporary until you leave the business.
WiFi and BlueTooth sell broadband cards on there websites. there are many more places to go for them though
