<p>So... in ordering a laptop, what kind of wireless card am I looking for? I searched briefly on Stanford's website but couldn't find it. Is it bluetooth? 811gb or whatever it is?</p>
<p>I think jwj should be able to answer this... I can say that you don't need bluetooth.</p>

This is what you would need. I copied that from the description of this laptop <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8444114&type=product&id=1183160885758%5B/url%5D">http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8444114&type=product&id=1183160885758</a></p>
<p>its plain old wireless LAN.</p>
<p>Get anything with 802.11 in the description and it should work fine. All new laptops come fitted with working wireless, so unless you just get a total P.O.S. it's not a problem. If you'd like, just post the description of the laptop you're thinking and I'll critique it for you.</p>
