I think I want to buy this computer... but....

Can someone tell me, looking at this page if it's wi-fi ready? Like... I buy it, start it up, and it'll start looking for a wireless network near me?

http://www.newegg.com/Pro...6834101152

I see in the communications section under the "specifications" tab

WLAN 802.11g Wireless LAN


does that mean it has the wireless thing already included/installed? Or just that that's what I have to buy separate?


sorry if this is a stupid question. I can figure most of this stuff out myself, but I need this thing ready to go immediately after it arrives without having to buy anything else to install.
