    Nice tablet, great price, but I would never buy something like this from Geeks.com.

    We have several of these at work. Wireless is only 802.11b, slow for work apps (client/server) but would be great for home. If you're a true "ghetto dog" then the lack of an internal CD/DVD drive won't prevent you from enjoying your favorite "backup" movies.

    I've bought several items from Geeks.com, items were exactly as described and they have always shipped fast. If you're afraid of refurbs then don't buy these, simple as that.

    I need a small one.
    - How big is this one compare to portable Sony?
    - is it possible to replace the slow WiFi card (802.11b) with the one from Dell?
    Thanks

    #7, the ones you have at work may only be 802.11b, but the ones up for sale are 802.11g. The description says "Integrated Intel PRO Wireless 2200BG Network Connection," which is a b & g card.
