Re: Dell Wireless 1500 Draft 802.11n Dual-band Internal Wireless
Even if you're not going to use it right away, it's a nice way to future-proof because 3-years from now 802.11n will be the standard (although all the other 802.11s will work, the 802.11n greater wireless range is the real selling point IMHO). So I'm going to say if you can afford it, it's worth it.

last I checked, these "drafts" actually wont work with the finalized version of n. Not only that, they screw over any b/g networks in the area.

I'd be careful with the draft N -- unless they can verify a flash or software uprade will truly future proof it, I'd be wary. Plus, its very likely if you need it in the future you could upgrade for not much more than you'll pay now. And that way, you won't be spending the money unless you need to.
Also, note there are many places that are still on *B* and haven't even upgraded to A or G! My view is it isn't worth it, yet.

Not it is not difficult depending on your laptop model. For the bigger models (E1705/E1505/etc), the wireless card slot is located on the bottom. I'm not sure about the smaller models, but it should not be very difficult.
Yes this should be available for all laptops offered by dell.
