    Does the Inspiron 1520 come with a remote? I have the internal bluetooth option ordered on mine and am not sure if that automatically includes the expresscard media remote or not. If it doesn't, how do you get one because I wasn't able to see it when I was configuring my 1520.

    I asked about 9 reps including one who was a senior sales agent for the XPS gold sales and they all told me no. So, I finally forked over another $50 for a bluetooth media remote.

    I wanted the one included in this review but I could not get it. I think Dell sells a $29.99 remote but they could not show me a picture or order it for me, but they did find it in their system.

    If anyone else has had any luck finding the remote pictured in the review, or knows if the 1520 includes one, I would like to know as well.

    Hope this helps,

    I pretty sure ordered one of those with my 1520, its called the Dell Travel Remote Control. It was a free addition listed under Media Centre Enhancements.
    I ordered from the Canadian site though, so I don't know if the US site has it.

    I have a feeling that it might be included with the laptop anyways though.

    Just want to echo Dragoneye... it's free in Canada, but you have to still select it as an option. Don't know why, but you do.
