Laptop Connectivity

Hi all.
I have no experience with a laptop and I'm wondering if an ethernet connection should/could be the default connection if/when plugged in (vs. wireless)?

I noticed on my sister's Acer laptop that there seemed to be two connections open at the same time, one wireless and one wired.

I could sure use some guidance on laptop connection ways and means. Anyone?

Whichever connects first is the default. When using a cable, turn the wireless radio off with the dedicated button or hotkeys.
