    I ordered a Dell 1520 and still waiting for its arrival, but I have some questions. I am going to live in a dorm for university on Sept. 1st. The university has noticed me that there isn't wireless connection inside the dorms but there will be a cable modem waiting for us, so we need to bring an ethernet wire in order to connect. Does Dell provide you with that wire? Or do I need to buy it somewhere else?

    Can anyone also tell me what should be included in the package with the laptop.
    Thanks for help.

    Aren't ethernet cables rather common things - that is, pretty much everywhere sells them

    Yeah, but Safeway or Albertson's don't have them. :)You should be able to get them at any technology place.

    Yep you can even ask some lab incharge person in one of your computer labs to give you a small 2m ethernet cable which should more than suffice... :)
