    Poll on the problems many are having with the Dell L521x. If you received this model from Dell, or purchased it new from any retailer, please take part in this poll.

    Slower than optimal wifi (although I need to do another WiFI comparison of internal 6235 vs USB WNDA3100v2 N600 with current bios and drivers), but good range and stability ( WAP = DLink DIR-655 ).

    No other issues (well, I'd love a free 128Gb mSATA SDD, but who wouldn't).

    I think i have a battery problem. I lose 16% in 40 minutes just on microsoft word. Lowest brightness. Power saver mode

    I would suggest to put this poll on a more widely accessible support like Google forms. Then, we spread the word all around the net, and we'll probably get more significant results.

    I would also open the poll to the L421x owners, the hardware is basically the same except for the i7 and the screen.

    Then...more important, Dell'll see that we're ready to fight :D
