    In some of the online pictures of the HEL80 I noticed an external whip antenna plugged into the machine. What is that for? Does this computer have internal antennas for WiFi and Bluetooth, or will I need to carry that external antenna around at airports and such?

    I'm planning to purchase in a week or so, and the HEL80 seems to have exactly what I'm looking for.

    The external antenna is not for wireless, the HEL80 has a built in wireless antenna. We just posted a review on this model in case you wanted to take a look at some detailed pics of this model. The external antenna is for the optional TV Tuner. :D
