I was considering buying a dell desktop for my wife. They don't
seem to have an option to purchase with a wireless card installed,
but instead offer a usb 2 wireless adapter. Would this be as good?
Thanks for any advice, from a mac user (sorry!)

It'll work but the range will be dire indoors.


It'll be better outdoors then will it?

Probably: there are far fewer walls outside to attenuate the signal. Of
course, you have to have the router outside as well to get the full benefit
of this ;-)
