    1. I heard people saying that it was supposed to come with 2 remotes? I can only find one... Is there any place where it could be cause I've looked everywhere but maybe I'm overlooking somewhere...? When I got the computer, there was a placeholder where you put the remote in the laptop and one actual remote in that leather book... but that was all.

    2. Does anyone notice that regardless of whether an SD memory card is 'clicked' in or not, you can still simply pull it out? Thought that was kind of weird but it seems to stay in when clicked in... Doesn't just drop out or anything which is good because I'm using it for Readyboost.

    Other than that... computer has been awesome. So fast.

    1. It's not supposed to come with two remotes, but a lot of times they seem to.

    2. You can always pull out SD cards, but "clicking" it will cause it to bounce out a little and makes it easier to remove.

    Oh I see, well that's okay about the remotes because I never really use it anyway. I just found that the SD card was really easy to pull out even when clicked in and it may pop out accidently because of it. But oh well, so far so good. Thanks.

    How did you manage to pull your SD card out? Mine is tight as hell, won't even budge when I tried to pull it out....

    I noticed that my MMC Card used in my Nokia N70 is much smaller than the SD card slot provided on the XPS 1530 .I did insert it once but pulled it out quickly so that it does not get stuck in the slot .

    How will this small MMC card fit in the big slot on the XPS 1530 ?

    Are there any pictures to show this ?

    How did I manage it? Haha, well I was just inspecting my laptop one day and noticed that from looking at the bottom of the laptop, the SD card seemed to be protruding a little further than it LOOKS like it should be so I just pushed it outwards (with little to no force) and it easily slid out. It works fine and everything and I expected it to stay stuck in as you've said, but it doesn't. Don't ask me why... that's why I asked in the first place. It still works fine though so unless it starts falling out by itself, I won't worry too much about it.

    Mine came with two remotes. Why I don't know. Looking at the order sheet it said two remotes. I guess one to be in the laptop and one if you're going to connect to an HDTV and use it as a player. As far as the SD card it does protrude out a little bit and so does the remote.

    I know, I'm fine with it protruding, that's to be expected. I was just a little worried that the SD card wasn't locking in as you can easily slide it out whether it's clicked in or not. Oh well.
