Back to the lack of restore discs... I didn't notice in the order process (on Dell.ca) that you could receive physical media for an additional $10 (that would have tipped me off that it came without in the first place). The paper notice also didn't mention that you could burn said discs from what was installed on the computer.



That little checkbox isn't always offered, which could be why you didn't see it!

Ditto for the capability of generating the CD in the field -- the software that does this is also not always provided.

We have two Dell i9300 notebooks -- when purchasing, neither had the checkbox, and only the first one had the "generate a CD" feature. But since I bought them from Dell Small Biz, a quick (really!) telephone call was all it took to have them mail CDs to us gratis.
