It's best to use a wireless access point whenever the cost of running Ethernet is either too expensive, or inapplicable to certain settings.

For example, if you worked in an office building that had false ceilings, it would be somewhat easy to have someone come in and run Ethernet.

However, if you worked in a warehouse that is constantly re-utilizing it's space, it is unlikely that running Ethernet would be a good investment. Thus a wireless access point, or several access points would be used instead.

Do you need wireless internet for a laptop?

Yes. It does not necessarily have to be your own internet service provider, you may be able to use WIFI. The laptop has a wireless ethernet card that will connect to a nearby access point. If you are at a location that offers free wireless internet, then you do not need an ISP as you can use theirs. If you are at home, however, you will need your own access point and internet provider to get online. You may be able to connect through your neighbor's access point, but that is shady and possibly illegal without their permission.
