    Laptops universally support the wireless ethernet protocol 802.11g, or variants of it.  A 2.4GHz radio signal (similar to mobile phones) is transmitted between the laptop and a wireless Internet gateway of some sort (eg, a home wireless ADSL router or a Wi-Fi hotspot), and this radio signal has all the request and response data embedded in it.

    The wireless protocol must allow lots of wireless devices to be communicating at once - or at least, they must be able to share the wireless network.  If two laptops transmit messages at exactly the same time, the router will receive a garbled version of both messages, and both laptops will know this too.  The protocol makes sure that this happens as infrequently as possible, to make the communication process faster and error-free.

      It would depend on the type of wireless card your computer has.

        The laptops don't have any wire. They use fax modems and some laptops use wireless modems to connect to the internet.

        The wireless laptop works the same as our CPU works. The only difference is that you don't see wires in wireless laptops.
