How much $$$
It sounds like a decent laptop.
If you don't have a wireless router you will need to plug in.

I paid 450. I am using it right now. Hard to get used to this small keyboard. Am I using someone elses bandwidth by not being plugged in?

I would use the high speed connection. If they haven't secured their network they sure as hell don't know how to monitor ANYthing you do....
And you can turn on your firewall to boot...........
