    Forgive the slightly noobish question. When I'm configuring my M571RU, I can save about $100 by knocking off the wireless card. But can I easily add it later on? I don't currently have a wireless network at home, so I don't need the card right now, but I might sometime in the future. The option is this:

    Intel Wireless 4965 AGN Mini PCIe

    The wireless card is very standard. (mini-PCIe)

    You can easily add it later.. and get if for under $50 in most cases.

    You can even get a external USB one if you like. By the way if you have never popped a Laptop open maybe you should get it from the reseller.

    My opinion: Yes, you could save money now and install it later (probably cheaper). If you buy the computer with it included you do not have to open up the laptop, install drivers and hope it works. I went with the peace of mind.
