Nice system but don’t buy it for the wireless connection,
I received this system in the mail today. The PC is as advertised, fast and quiet. The tower is nicely sized, much smaller than others I’ve had in the past. One of the +’s for me in buying this system was the built in wireless access. When I received it and started up I was very surprised to see that I was getting 1 to 3 bars of connectivity even though a laptop sitting right beside it has 5. After doing some legwork in the forums, I find that this problem is consistent on this machine. The only solution offered in the forums is to buy a wifi stick. I had an extra from my old system and plugged it in and sure enough, 5 bars of connectivity.
Until Dell gets their act together and provides a valid wifi connection in this system, buyer beware.
