Hello,
I'm about to buy a laptop, and I think I've found the one. There's just one detail that's bothering me: in the description, I don't see the mention of wifi, but wlan instead.
Will I be able to connect via wifi despite this? I couldn't find a simple answer to my question online, so if someone could provide an answer.. thanks in advance!

Wifi is the name of a data transmission technology using radio waves. WLAN is the name given to a local network using this technology... or another.
Wifi=Wireless Fidelity
WLAN=Wireless Local Area Network
Basically, it's nearly the same thing.

Alright, so in summary I don't have to worry because it works the same way?
