Not realy, As I was in the Shop, I have seen, that you can not
change the WiFi Card...

My older R40 (2728) had an external accessible MiniPCI Card.

Hmmm, the R60e (Intel Core2 Duo T5600) with 2 x 512 MByte, 100 GB
SATA, DVD+-RW, Bluetooth, ATI 128MB, WLAN, GBit, Modem, 3x USB with
a crappy Professionel Closed Source OS is around 1378 Euro...
