is wireless n worth getting?

[boing]

i'm speccing a new laptop for home use, mostly internet useage and i want to know if wirless 'N' is worth the extra £15-20. i'll be on an 8Mb braoadband connection probably getting 3.5Mb max, average 2.5 Mb and i was wondering if this is well within the limits of 'G' or would i see a gain from 'N' ?

It is Not just the Laptop, you need a Wireless Router that can do Draft-N too.

Unless you need extra speed for local Network transfer between the Laptop and other computers it is a waste of money.
