Thought it was more snazzy looking. I watch the tv show the Big Bang Theory and they all have wicked looking XPS' ( http://www.blurayfreak.com/Dell-Blu-ray-Notebook-XPS-M1710.jpg). You should def pimp it! No prob, does it look like the one from the link you gave to the Dell site? Thought it was more snazzy looking.

Works out of the box. Fecking only issue is there is a MediaDirect button on the front of the laptop which boots an embedded XP partition. When you shut it down it writes some crap to the MBR and hoses my grub. Even rebuilding grub from a boot CD doesn't work. Idiotic fecking button. SO I am going to overwrite the embedded XP with fluxbox and if I still have the same problem I'm going to DD the disk. No hassles with the wireless. Works out of the box.
