    Is the outside plastic or magnesium as some have presumed? Magnesium can be tricky to detect as it is not cold like other metals. I guess you just have to determine if it is rigid or not. Vostros and Inspirons are not the same if it's magnesium.

    1. Is it good to do a internet order or call a sales rep and tell our requirement.
    2. is there any free accessories available such as remote and earpiece.
    3. Is it possible to order from US website to UK?
    4. The bluetooth I am ordering is is written for Vista, does that mean its not compatible with XP
    5. Is there any possible way to get UK dell coupons :)
    6. I wanted the memory as (1X2048) , is it possible to change that in an internet order,
    If possible how? Will they charge extra for that.
    7. Does memory card reader comes default?


    Please rely asap

    Regards
    Vish

    Hi, always order from the phone. They lowered the price by about £80 for me and they shoudl be able to give you some discount too.

    You cant order from the US site to the UK - it will just redirect you to the UK site when placing the order.
    Also there are no UK dell coupons, these are only for the US and Canada. The memeory card reader comes as default, its an 8 in 1 reader.
    Tell them that you wont order unless they put the price down and add the travel remote and noise isolation ear buds.
