    I also have an M6300. Much changed with the M6400 + M6500.

    Would not be surprised to see a magnesium palmrest on the new M6600. Could also be the slightly rubberized feel that the new E series has. Will have to go back and look at the Engadget shots again.

    I was in the exact same boat as you until a few minutes ago and I pulled the trigger on a W520. I got tired of waiting for Dell to announce so I just did it. If the M4600 looks killer, I always have 30 days to return the W520. I'll let you know my thoughts tomorrow about it when I get it.

    If I get my bonus this month, I'm going to blow it on a maxed out M6600 minus the touch screen. Can't wait.

    - New Precision laptops will be available from the mid of April 2011.

    - The optional Touch-screen for the M6600 will have 4-finger multi-touch, in addition to a stylus input (the new Latitudes only have a 2-finger touch capabilty option).

    - The Precision M6600 will have a "Performance-Boost" feature. Not sure if this is as simple as pressing a dedicated button or some other implementation.

    - The Precision M6600 will offer up to 4 external displays with NVIDIA's GPU, or up to 5 external displays with AMD's GPU.

    - Added the NVIDIA QUADRO 5010M. Just got confirmation that it will be offered begining from June 2011.

    Is the 5010M that much better than a 4000M that should be launched with the system? I don't know if I should wait or not.
