    I've ordered my e1705, and it should arrive tomorrow. But I've got some questions about it!

    I ordered the Creative sound blaster, is that a big difference then the stock one? Is it 5.1 surround sound?

    Could someone give me a picture of the "light leaking/bleeding" that everyone is whining about.

    I got the dell wireless, rather then the intel. Is there a noticable difference?

    Thanks :)

    The light leakage on Dells are hit or miss, but most of the time they're decent with only a little light leakage. If your notebook does have terrible light leakage, Dell will exchange the notebook if you lodge a complaint and/or want to do so. Dell Wireless has been fine for me - not terrible, but not great either.

    Hey d412k5t412 I have Dell wireless on my i6000. It works very well for me. We have comcast cable internet coming in through a wireless router! It works better than the wireless USB adapters Comcast gave us! :)
