And trust me, I hear ya...It does need wireless...

But it any market its all about options. In my laptop I have two network configurations: my wireless and wired. Wireless has my generated SSID so I'm good. I do agree that the wireless from a data packet standpoint has drastically improved over the past yeasrs.

My whole point is as I said above, its about options and with NIC cards today (as they are all integrated except as Doni said for his USB card), why not add the ethernet port...Its just such a standard option....thats my point...just surprised
