    Just got a refurbished 700m this week and it's really fast! My first laptop ever and it installed office 2003 in like 30 seconds. Pretty cool. I would like to thank abaxter for all of his reviews, made the buying decision a lot easier. Now I just have some questions:

    1. What is a good sleeve for the 700m?

    2. Where can I find a screen protector for my laptop's screen and are those stick on preotectors any good?

    3. My laptop came with a wireless B card and I need a wireless G. Do I need to buy the Intel 2200 card or are there any other options that I could use to replace that card?

    Thanks for your help and if you can think of where I can get this stuff in Canada I'd really appreciate it!

    I just finished searching a little bit and here's what I found:

    Found two options for sleeves:

    1. www.shinza.com (however, they're out of stock)
    2. www.booqbags.com (out of stock as well)

    And three options for screen protectors:

    1. www.datacal.com (screen protector)
    2. www.jr.com (MACALLY protection screen)
    3. www.shaggymac.com (screen protector)

    The first two are the stick on kind and the third one is a keyboard rest kind of. Which one works best?

    Any comments on the sleeves as well?

    Also, I tried to google for a wireless g internal card to replace my 2100 intel wireless b card and haven't had any luck. Any advice?

    Check out the Intel PRO Wireless 2200 802.11 b/g card. This is the internal card, which I use. It has performed without any problems. It is made to fit your 700m, as well. Call Dell spare parts.

    Dell Inspiron 8600:
    * 1.6 Ghz Pentium M * 1024 MB DDR SDRAM * 60 GB 7200 RPM HD * 15.4" WSXGA+ * Internal Bluetooth * Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 * 4x CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) * ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo 128 MB * Win XP Pro SP2 *

    * Apple 17" PowerBook G4 * 14" Toshiba Tecra 8000 * Apple 14" iBook G4 *

    Another sleeve that might work:

    www.sumdex.com

    Does anyone know if all the 12" sleeves will fit the 700m?
