    Are there any Canadian customers which have purchased the Dell Studio 15 thus far on NBR???

    My question is.....does the Studio 15 ship with a backlit keyboard and a media remote?

    The config page says that the studio 15 does come with a backlit keyboard but the remote is a $25 option.

    It's the first option actually. I just checked the Canadian page. Just so he's not confused :)

    Dell Travel Remote Control, IR [$25 or $1/month1]

    I think if you want to hook up the laptop to your tv to watch picture slideshows or whatever, the remote can come in pretty handy otherwise I don't think it would be of much use, just my 2 cents.

    I just don't like that if you don't have the remote, a useless piece of plastic is in it's spot.
