    I'm full of questions here because this stuff is not adequately explained on the Dell site...so I'm coming to the experts...

    If I don't think I intend on using actual Bluetooth accessories but I would like to use USB devices wirelessly (i.e. mouse, printer, external hard drive) is the "Built in Wireless USB Capability" and USB hub the only thing I need?

    In everyone's experience are there any reasons I would also need / want bluetooth?

    WUSB is useless-> its expensive($150), short range, slow transfer speed and many problems

    i think u'd rather get a long USB cable and a powered usb hub
