    I'm going to buy an m1330 tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone has had some actual experience with the WUSB option. I am considering the WUSB option because I will be bringing this to work everyday and since the the Dell doesnt have a dock, I thought that WUSB could make the everyday process a little quicker. I'm always looking for ways to make things more efficient.

    When I get to work, I figure I'll hook up my monitior via HDMI, my AC power, maybe LAN (if I dont use wireless N), and one USB cord for usb keyboard, speakers, and mouse. I was thinking if I had WUSB, that's one less cable, but then again, is it worth the $150 upgrade? I thought I remember reading that WUSB could be used for displays in the near future. It would be nice if I could just plug in my power and be done. Anyone out there use this right now?

    I wouldn't bother. If your needing extra usb ports then I'd pick up a inexpensive hub and just leave it in the office.
