    Look at the 360 degree view, it definitely has it.

    That said, I can't find the 3300 with the Nvidia 310m GPU on the US site. :(

    Edit: Nevermind, I'm being stupid. Found it here.

    Edit 2: I was wrong about the HDMI port - doesn't look like the 3300 has one. See my post below. :\

    Aw, it seems you can't config the cheaper models with i5 processor. i5 processor is the only with turbo boosting.

    Holy crap, my bad. I mistook the eSata port for an HDMI port.

    Well, that kills that for me. Don't they know that not everything has a VGA-in?

    Are the media buttons on recent dells touch capacitive buttons, or REAL buttons? I *hate* touch buttons. So worthless. None of the product information even mentions the media buttons on these. There are no good pictures and no mention that they even exist, but I can see them.

    It's a total bummer for me because that resolution SUCKS. Even less vertical resolution than 1280x800 :[ I'm going to be browsing web pages through a tiny slit. needs a 1600x900 option!

    Appears to be capacitive multimedia buttons. And you're right, there is no mention on the Dell website regarding these buttons.

    Only one HDD on the 3700?

    Standard dell tactics, they aren't showing the top spec stuff until they've sold all the low spec stuff so what is currently on sale looks better.

    If it had the 1920x1080 LCD i would consider getting an 3700, the HDMI is a good start.

    what res is this?
