Is the Studio XPS 8100 wifi ready?

Probably a stupid question, but I can't figure it out. My brand new laptop died and I must have access to a computer while I am out of town for a week. I am driving and hoping to just pack up my desktop and use the wireless internet where I'm staying, but can't tell if the pc is able to do this. The specs are below - can anyone tell me? Thanks in advance!

tonyakopp,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

If the specs above are your xps 8100 then you have a wireless card. It is the 1525 wlan PCIe card. Look on the back of your system and you should see the antennae sticking out the back.
