    I'm trying to find a laptop at the Dell Outlet site, but need some help deciding between wireless options. Here's what they've got:

    Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n Mini Card
    Dell 1505 Wireless-N
    Intel 4965 802.11a/g/n Dual-Band Mini Card

    I would guess that the regular mini card is best for users with basic needs (that would be me) since it comes standard. But are either one of the other choices worth paying a few more bucks for? Thanks in advance.

    The Intel card is said to outperform the others.
