    Should the XPS 16's be coming with travel remotes for the express card slot? Mine doesn't have one. Is missing a WIFI Catcher as well (discontinued?) Thanks.

    It doesn't come with one, but I'll use the one which came with my 1530 last year. Hope it works.

    Dell sent me two for my m1530, no clue why but that extra one will now have a use. I just need to pop the battery in and see if it works. I only checked to make sure it fit in the card slot so far.

    i bought the dell travel remote for 10 dollar on ebay. it works fine, ive had it since i bought my sxps earlier this year. ive heard bad things about the bluetooth remote, mainly that it sticks out of the card slot too much. the IR remote came free with the 1530, you can buy it on ebay, or on the dell site. the one i bought matches perfectly, its black and silver, the m08 model.
