    I'm about to buy a refurb Dell for my son (he destroys things so I'm going with a refurb for him first). I found the exact same computers on Dell's website and they are the same price except for the wireless cards. One has the 1395 802.11 G and the other has the 1505-N in it. I am new to the wireless game and was wondering which was better. :confused:

    The 1505-N is better. It gives greater range and faster internet when using with an N-router, but is also backwards compatible with the wireless-G(not giving the faster internet, and I don't think the range, but I'm not sure).

    Most people choose the 1505-N when ordering a Dell.
