    I haven't even received my 1530 yet, but in the weeks that I've been waiting for it I've realized that there are several things that I wished I would have configured into my build.

    These are:
    1. Bluetooth
    2. Wireless N card rather than 1395 that came with it.
    3. 7200 RPM hard drive
    4. Blu Ray drive (expensive, I know)
    5. potentially LED screen

    Do you think Dell would be able to upgrade these things for me? If so, could they send someone out to do it for me/do it myself, or would I need to send it in?

    You need to return and rebuy. Dell cannot change the configuration once an order is put through.

    They cancel, replace, recharge your card.

    If you want to get a blu-ray drive I highly suggest the uxga screen instead of the LED one to take advantage of full 1080p high-resolution. The blu-ray drive is kind of wasted on the LED screen which is only available in xga+ resolution.

    I dont know but i think it is a waste of money to spend $500 on a blue-ray.. unless you are a hard core movie fanatic.. lol

    You said that you havent recieved your laptop yet, but you are going to get it either today or tomorrow, so i really dont think you can cancel it, and if you do cancel it, you will have to wait another whole 2-3 weeks before you will get your next 1530..
