Maybe Dell think that laptops aren't plugged into Ethernet that often .. that or they are just very miserly

The 100Mb nic issues will get fixed. That's all I can say and I believe was posted by another tester in is thread.

....I sincerely hope that's a typo. There's no excuse for not bundling gigabit ethernet these days, even on a laptop. IF your argument is that laptops tend to be on wireless, then why bother with an ethernet port at all?

'the norm' does not mean every laptop everywhere, after all what do you expect from Dell's low-end economy range?

Interesting, thanks. I wonder what client he's using, that's about 40% slower than on a BT Home Hub 5 even with a 2x2 card. It's also a lot slower than Intel's fairly crappy 1st-gen 2x2 AC chips, which is unexpected...
