    Okay so i got a 20% off coupon for the Studio 15 from the outlet and from seeing all of the problems that the laptop has(keyboard flex, speaker problem, yadada) I'm a bit worried.. So is it a good idea to buy a Studio 15 from the outlet?

    Thanks

    Did you buy previously ordered new? I just got a Dell Studio myself, no problems whatsoever, even after I dropped the thing on CEMENT. LOL. No scratches either. I probably got lucky. Don't try that at home.

    oh I think you misunderstood me. I have yet to buy the laptop. And yes, the laptop will be previously ordered new.
    Btw can a laptop with a Wireless N network adaptor(or whatever its called) be compatible with a router that is Wireless G? If it is will the internet speed be faster on the laptop?

    Thanks

    It's a great idea to buy it from the Outlet. These are basically all new machines, my refurb doesn't even have a refurb sticker.

    It is backward compatible, but it won't make your internet faster unless you have an extremely fast internet connection.

    Ok thanks, atbnet.

    Hopefully I'll get this before the coupon expires.
