    Mind giving us the specs? You got the Core2Duo sticker instead of the Centrino Duo one.

    Ofcourse Dell did, include with my laptop are Windows Vista Home disc, Driver Disc, Utilities disc and another disc (i forget its name). This disc contains a software support the quick play feature (playing media while your laptop is off).

    By the way, i want to reinstall my OS, but dell said that if i formated my HDD, i will can not use the quick play feature anymore. :(, do anyone know how to install quick play after formated the HDD?

    awesome !

    i dont know anything about the quickplay thing...i bought mine without even seeing one in person, im sure there is a driver of some sort for that feature somewhere in the cyberspace if not in one of those cd's.

    now i need to play the waiting game :rolleyes:
