read abt the option, but can not seem to work..1) upgrade to Vista Ultimate, $300+.. 2) Change to Vista Chinese, I don't have the sw. If I let them do so in China, the X61 doesnt have a CD-ROM, which will be a hell of a trouble for a novice. Regarding the price.. sigh yah.. At least i want to recoup the cost of ordering a new laptop in Dell China.. It's openned, but one definitely don't SEE finger prints with naked eyes unless the buyer hire a foreignsics.. :P
