Hi guys, i am looking to purchase one of these two notebooks but i would like some feedback from current owners. I was looking for a laptop at the $1,200 (including shipping) and these two seem to be in my budget even though they don't have the wireless intergration which i really need...so i plan on purchasing a wireless card but my other question is is there a wireless card that doesn't stick out of the notebook slot? thank you all in advance.

yeah, there are such cards that does not stick out the notebook that are PCIMICA wireless adapters. I forgot the card manufacturer though, but I remember the place where I found it.
go to: www.tomshardware.com
Its link one of their holiday gift guides in 2002.

Hey guys i still haven't found the wireless card that doesn't stick out so if anyone else know a link i can take a look at, please let me know...and also any feedbacks about the two laptops will be great.

many of the newer laptops have a wireless nic included - you might want consider to that route instead...
