You just up a new wireless network in your house and you want to determine whether your Linux laptop has connected?

Generally speaking, look for a radiowave-like icon where the network connection area in the task bar should be. If it has radio waves, you're connected to wifi.

A laptop does just that, so therefore it is a computer. What you are thinking of is a desktop computer, which, hence the name, remains on a desk/remains stationary. Technically you can move a desktop computer from one spot to another, it's just a little more difficult than moving a laptop. Desktop computers and laptops are two different "types" of computer.

What is the best way to find a cheap laptop?

It depends or the price........ that is the answer....

go to a cheap shop and look for a cheap laptop :L

don't go for the cheapest as it wont last as long and possible be really bad

You should also check online deals and sales (maybe bestbuy or the manufacterer). My sister got her HP laptop for about $350-$400 during black Friday and I got mine about $100 off after waiting for a sale. Bestbuy sometimes only has a certain price available online but you could buy online and choose an in store pick (for some items) that way you get a better price without the wait ;) Good luck!
