    Agreed. Other hands-on previews have said the keyboard is fine (one compared it to the 14z).

    This is one nice ultra-mobile; I'll be watching it closely.

    I'm going to watch it closely as well, I have gotten a few calls from clients who have read about this machine and seem interested.

    I'm waiting for some user input and some reviews about if the speakers are loud enough and if the keyboard is as bad as Engadget states.

    I wonder if V13 has two speakers build in or just one?

    Looking at the picture of it, there are two on the bottom facing down. Now if I could find that picture again, or did I see that on a video? I'll see if I can locate it.

    Are you sure? from the pictures, it looks like there is only one speaker on the left hand side, just like the Vostro 1320 or 1220.

    Well, here's a vid of someone handling it. Hopefully Dell adds HDMI with a Calpella refresh.

    looks good, I like it. Can't really see the speakers though. I do like the fact that the VGA ports and USB are in the back. they should have added a DVI or HDMI or display port. :)

    This machine looks promising but, how do the speakers sound, and i wonder will their be a battery slice for longer battery life, 4.5 hours is sad very sad. The Asus Ul30 etc.. Their battery life is literally 12 hours with the same processor! But this has way better built quality though.
