Yes. The "3g" class of wireless access, or GPRS, can use certain
cellphones, or dedicated cards. None of the access methods care whether
your device is a laptop or desktop. There are some PCMCIA cards that won't
fit in a standard computer without an adapter, but USB or PCI devices will
work for you.
