    Hi Guys,

    I'm considering buying this machine from Dell outlet.

    Printed below are the only details given in the description. I thought that all Inspiron came with wireless communication as standard but as you can see it's not specified below. When I look on Outlet the majority of notebooks don't mention wireless at all but some do. Does this mean that the vast majority of inspirons on outlet don't have wireless connectivity? I find that very surprising if so.

    I have two questions:

    1. Does anyone know whether outlet notebooks generally come with wireless as standard?

    2. If not is it possible to upgrade post-purchase and install a card?

    Usually all notebooks do unless it's specified that it doesn't. I'm pretty sure the ones in the outlet do have it, but you may want to double check.
