    Hellow, great review!
    But can you tell me what serial number the screen is (via device manager or programs like everest)? I read somewhere the LG Philips LED is somewhat grainy and because you're so satisfied with the LED, I'm curious which screen you have.
    Thank U!

    He seemed impressed with it. We both that the text is clearer to read on the WXGA+ screen over the WXGA screen on his old Gateway and the old 15" Latitude he got as a loaner from his IT department. 1440x900 is the perfect resolution on a 15", any higher is overkill and any lower doesn't look too great.

    Like I've said before, since it's my dad's E6500, I won't be able to do battery life tests. Sorry.

    For those who are hesitating between the E6500 and the E6400 for its portability, another thing to consider is the graphic card. Although they are both the same 160M, the E6500 comes with DDR3 graphic memory at 700mhz while the E6400 comes with DDR2 graphic memory at 400mhz.

    Check this page out: http://www.dell.com/content/learnmo...s_graphics&~lt=popup&~series=latit&~tab=other

    This being said...I'd really like to see some benchmark results please :) as I'm also hesitating between portability and graphic performances.

    The NVS 160M has just a 64bit interface? How boring is that even for a business machine? I mean it's a 15.4 inch notebook...
