Satisfied The system is a Dell Alienware. Considering the amount of money that you are paying, you expect things to work out of the box.Most of it do. The build quality is very good and it looks sturdy.However, there are some basic missing pieces that make this a paper weight [for me]1. No CD/DVD eject button. The expectation is that you eject it within the OS. This is all fine until the OS is running. Say I have a CD inside the drive and the OS crashes [unable to boot]. How will I put my recovery CD in?2. No WiFi Toggle switch: Again the expectation is that every time I boot into Windows, I need to toggle by pressing F-2 [Each time at reboot, the WiFi gets disabled for unknown reason]. The down-side is that I cannot map the function keys to multimedia [in the bios]. The second disadvantage is that These function keys are not recognized in Ubuntu. Consequently, I cannot enable WiFi in Linux!!3. No driver support for Linux: I understand that…
