Wow lot of info!

I am a computer user here on land for some time 25 years but am not a techie!
Where can I go for simple straight forward direction of how to put internet on my 40 foot sail boat. as a long term live aboard?
for example
1)what is the best laptop to buy, most energy efficient? (understand that moisture will play harshley)
2) understand wireless on land but how does that work through Wifi? what is the router connected to? Satellite? What is the cost of that? and who?
3) Understand the need for antenna............but again simply put which one do I buy?
4) understand hot spot but does that mean you get intermittent reception?

Thanks guys................Lue
