I'm not very well versed in things like mobile hotspots but I just bought a new laptop and I'm trying to decide how I'm gonna get it online when I'm not at home or somewhere else with wifi, so my questions are:

what type of internet am I looking for

What sort of device would that be

and what companies are the best and which are the cheapest

I know I'm asking some pretty dumb questions but I've never had to try and get mobile internet for a computer so I'm not really sure what I'm looking for what I want it to do is be able to get on the internet in cases like when I'm sitting in a park or while I'm in the break room at my work where there's no wifi

Thank you very much in advance for answering and also if I posted this in the wrong forum I apologize wasn't entirely sure on where it should go.

Some other details that might be relevant I forgot earlier:

You can probably just add tethering to your plan. For my plan it's not allowed, but I can unlock it for $10 more per month. Ask your provider if you can do that for your plan. Also if you like the internet your provider gives you, you can probably add a hotspot provided by them to your plan for cheaper than getting one by itself (if tethering option doesn't work).

Honestly I didn't even think of looking if my company had a mobile hot spot until just now, I use straight talk which is essentially tracfone without calling them and asking about tethering it doesn't seem like they'll let me at least on the website however they do sell a mobile hotspot and it doesn't look like it's a terrible deal for prices thank you for the suggesttion
