    Bluetooth allows you to connect to devices wirelessy (is that even a word??) e.g. mobile phone, pda, headsets. These devices would need to have bluetooth as well.

    3g is a type of mobile broadband. You have to get a subcription from o2,3 or vodafone for it to work.

    thanks almighty, no need fro 3g so. bluetooth might be handy. do you know what laptop would be suitable for that spec. ive been looking at toshibas business laptops and hps along with dells. are dells new models coming out soon. if they are it might mean getting a better deal on the vostros that are out at the mo.

    There's nothing there that stands out as hard to get on a new laptop (unless you just want xp then dell would be your best bet) for cheap enough. I don't think dell offer deals on their older models when the newer ones come out, they just stop selling them.
