Which one works better wireless or ethernet computer?

[malayna]

I've noticed that our laptop Toshiba computer sometimes looses its wireless connection, but the HP computer that is connected to the Ethernet and all wires connect from the mouse to the keyboard to the printer, does not loose connection ever, so when I consider buying a new HP computer, I wonder if I should get the kind that all the wires connect, because it might stay connected better to the internet, than one that the keyboard, mouse, and printer, are all wireless. Which should I buy, the one that has the wireless components that uses less space, or the one that is all connected that has a tower with it? Does the one with the tower and is all connected work better than the wireless with no tower? It just seems like when everything is connected with wires, it never looses it's ability to work, but when you are depending on the wireless anything, it acts up part of the time and looses it's connection. Am I right?

wired connections are normally better than wireless.

Wireless connections can be interrupted by other things in your home.

Thank you, I thought so, but the young man at Wal-Mart told me there was no difference, but somehow I didn't believe it.

Ask the kid at walmart if he ever loses his cell phone signal or has dropped calls? What an idiot he is. wireless is always susceptable to interference from walls, radio waves, electrical interference,...
