Basically its hard to suggest which is better

Phone Tethering?

Netter to use the USB based dongle.Can be purchased for $2 i guess.

Better option is dongle because you can carry it any where WIFI connection is not available

WIFI and your laptop

Wifi is local - about 100 feet. If you wish wireless high speed internet, associate a corpuscle hype organization. A organization's high speed internet protection is about the same as their mobile protection. If you want to be on their LAN, you need XP Pro or Windows vista Business on your laptop.
