    No, and with a router you can have several computers connected at the same time.

    In order to use a Notebook anywhere, you need access to a wireless router, whether it be your own, the library's, the beeches. This is typically called WIFI.

    Cellular providers provide laptop access everywhere with reduced bandwidth and high costs and you may pay by the megabyte of data.

    Do you currently have an internet providor for your desktop? (assuming you have a desktop)

    If so then a router would be your best bet. Follow KISS' advice. Ask if more info is needed.
