    When configuring the M15x, I didn't see the option to add the Gobi Mobile Broadband (internal WWAN antenna). As is the case for almost every other Dell laptop, I expected/wanted this option on the M15x which I plan to purchase here in the next few days.

    Inquiring about this to a couple reps at their call center had no idea what I was talking about.

    Is there an spot for this inside the laptop, and if so, is it something I can purchase directly from Qualcomm and install myself?

    It's not a make-or-break deal as I'm already sold on the laptop, but it sure would be nice to not have to carry around my Express card anymore.

    Thank you in advance for any advice/information you can provide.
