Hi Devlin,

 

I just noticed this and really do not know why there has been no reply. It must have fallen between the cracks but will show again now.

 

Sorry about that!

Hello Devlin,

 

It will probably be best to use a Wireless PC card as then it leaves your USB slots free for other devices :)

 

I am not the person to ask about Wireless PC Cards although I can assure you someone who is the person to ask, should check out this thread and adivse you on which one soon.

 

As for these speakers, when you say "wireless" do you mean bluetooth?

I would personally use a dongle as it can be used on any machine if need be - as for the speakers as Polo has said bluetooth are better as 'wireless' speakers are normally very expensive.

Most laptops now come with 4-8 USB slots so taking up one with a dongle still leaves plenty -

Check that there isnt a button on the laptop somewhere for the wireless to be enabled.

its also sometimes done via the FN (function) key and one of the F buttons :)
