Anyone with a Dell Inspiron 6400?

Hi.

As the subject says, does anyone on MSE have one of these laptops?

I am thinking of buying one next week and according to the website it comes supplied with 'Built-in Wifi'.

I was just wondering whether Wifi module/card was totally internal or whether it was a PCMCIA card, or something more external.

If that makes sense? lol.

    I have a 6400 which is about 8 months old. Not sure of current specifications but mine has an internal wifi card ... works a treat.

    One thing to note is that my 6400 did not have a PCMCIA slot but came with the Express Card slot instead. Not an issue for me but if you have any legacy PC Cards this could be a stumbling point.

    All around I am very pleased with the laptop so hope you enjoy yours.

    It is internal and the 6400 doesn't have a PCMCIA slot.
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????
