With a Macbook, can you get wireless internet on the road?

if you can, does the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi do that?

Answers:
The MacBook comes with built in wi-fi. It has an Airport card in it. You can access any wireless networks which the computer can pick up. I'd suggest downloading a shareware program called iStumbler, it's available on many sites. It will show you the names & strength of any wireless networks nearby. It will also show you if they are password protected. It is possible to hook up your MacBook to a cell phone and access the internet that way also. Check with Apple about that.
I think you just have a wireless card that allows you to connect to wireless hub - like at internet cafes or other places that offer wifi (coffee shops, etc).

In order to actually connect wherever you are - check with your cell-phone carrier, you will have to get a card that allows your computer to connect to the internet sort of like a cell phone. They will be able to tell you if what you have will work, but most likely you will have to buy something - and then you will have to figure out which plan makes the most sense, and you will be paying for time the same as a cell.
