    i have asked dell live chat about this 4 times, 2 times they say yes, an two times they say you have to pay extra for it when you order the laptop (only there is no option to do so).

    so i just want to know from people who have recieved this laptop, if the media remote is included?

    got a picture below from a review from this site so everyone knows what im talking about.

    In New Zealand it is a NZ$16 option, found in the section with the misc accessories like TV-out adapters, though I am aware that the configure system is different here to in the UK.

    Maybe giving Dell a call is the best way, if it isn't included they can probably ship one out separately (at a cost no doubt).

    If you don't get one you should have little to no trouble asking for one later. Lots of people have done this (in US and CA) and have had no problems.
