How does an apple laptop acquire internet access?

How does an apple laptop acquire internet access?
I have an apple laptop and am wondering how I can get onto the internet with it. I have cable internet for my computer but how does the laptop pick up the signal? Would it need a wireless router or does it not need it? would any wireless router work for an apple or is there something special for the apples laptops?

either get a wireless router or just plug it directly into the modem via Ethernet.

Which laptop? Does it already have an Airport card? What version of the OS? You can't be sure any of our suggestions will work until you consider these two questions. If this laptop is compatible with Apple's Airport card or Airport Extreme card but doesn't have one, you need to buy one and install it. How to connect varies with OS 9 and OS X so look it up on Apple.com If not an Airport compatible laptop, you can forget about wireless and buy an ethernet router. Connect the laptop, and any other computers, to the router. The router connects to the cable modem. If your service is by PPPoE, you will need to configure the router for that and configure all computers to connect via DHCP. If your service connects via DHCP, no changes are needed for the router out-of-box and configure all computers to connect via DHCP. Same for a wireless router. All newer Apple computers are configured for DHCP via ethernet as a default. Typically, you must unplug the power cord from the cable modem for 30-40 seconds to get it to forget the hardware address of the computer it has been used with. After repower, wait 30-40 seconds and then open a Web browser on the Apple laptop. For the Windows computer, you're on your own. Any wireless router will work with the Airport card as long as the card is the same protocol as the router or higher. Protocols are 802.11B to 802.11N, going from oldest to newest. With an Apple wireless router, the Airport Setup Assistant will help make the configuration easier.

iTunes refuse to work with anything besides Apple's own device. Apple makes little to no effort to allow their program to work with competitor devices, and has made larger efforts to prevent them from working with non-Apple devices. You might think its unfair, but to them you are a moneybag to collect from. If you get a non-Apple product, they can't collect from you. You get what you paid for.

warm water.and soap.

Rub it with peanut butter or baby oil.
3 :
try rubbing alcohol or vinegar.
4 :
try goo-be-gone
5 :
Goo Be Gone sold at wal mart and other retail stores..spraythe product on a cloth then rub gently on the residue.
6 :
A product like goo-be-gone would probably be best. For less stubborn dirt, I once in a while use rubbing alchohol and paper towels to clean my mouse and keyboard. Good luck!
7 :
Goo Gone or DeSolveIt work great. If it will get sticky off of my nieces satin jacket I know it will work for you.

two words that dont go together Apple and cheap.... be a lot better off building your on system otherwise get a dell xps...
2 :
The cheapest is the white 13" Macbook, with no upgrades at $1,099, with free shipping (apple offers it, and it didn't specify that you have to live in USA, so I'm assuming that it is free for you Brits as well)
3 :
if you just complete a few quick tasks on this site they'll send you a sony laptop, completely free of charge!!
