    Hi, I just bought a Dell Studio 15 recently, and I love everything about it except the 1397 WLAN Mini-card. It works...that's about it. I'm looking at an upgrade to the Intel Wifi 5300, and after a quick search it seems that the half-mini 5300 is compatible with the Dell Studio 15.

    However, the Intel Wifi 5300 (full) mini seems to be cheaper at the moment at some stores, and also more convenient to acquire. Can I just go with the 5300 mini instead of the half-mini?

    No then? Anyone know where I can get a half mini 5300 cheaply in Canada? Thanks in advance.

    Is the 5300 even compatible with the Studio 15 1535?
