My m1210 came with a restore partition, which I promptly deleted. I have a hard enough time justifying the 25GB I left for Windows, I'm definitely not leaving any more space just to preserve Dell's bloatware.

I got the AV Pack for the EVDO antenna. I'll probably never use the webcam, even if I can get it working under Linux. I may not even bother trying. I think the other benefit is that you get the better screen (AUO I think). It's still...

I have a feeling the Core 2 Duos are holding things up... mine is still in pre-production too. I ordered on the 30th. I can survive without it for a little longer, but I'm starting to get impatient. I want my new toy! At least I have...
