    Both :D
    when you order the normal RGB LED it's matte, the E2E version has a glasplate and is therefore glossy.

    Does anybody have any specs for the two SSD drives offered in the 6400? One is a 128GB Dell mobility SSD and the other is a 64MB 'high performance' one that costs 170 bucks more than the 128GB. Where can I find the read and write speeds for them as well as some info on who makes them and such. The technology is advancing so fast it's hard to keep up. Was reading that Samsung, or maybe it was another had finally produced a 128 or maybe even a 256GB that managed to keep read and write speeds withing 10% of each other. Some of the write speeds on various models I've checked out were pretty slow compared to read speed.

    Hangs indefinitely on log off.

    Dell tech says there is no dock/undock option in vista and it should work just fine.

    Just received my M6400 yesterday. Upon initial 30 min of use, all seems well except one thing. I increased the speed of the touchpad pointer to maximum fast, but it keeps reverting back to the default middle position (between slow and fast) on its own. Anyone else have this issue, and if so, any fix? I reinstalled the touchpad driver from the Dell M6400 driver page, but that didn't help. Thanks!

    Heh, depends.

    I play mainly Alliance (albeit I have a 46 lock still on Hakkar PvP, and when they let DKs on any server, I'll probably level up a DK on a PvP server somewhere).

    One 80 Hunter
    Numerous 7x toons

    I mainly play on Suramar and Rexxar with a stranded 70 Druid on Cenarius.

    Classic case of I used to raid, so I only had a few toons, but when I went casual somewhat, toons reproduced everywhere.

    Good news is I sold my original Covet

    Bad news is my new one died. One moment I was farming Cobalt (since it goes for more than Saronite these days), and suddenly funny whine, blank screen, power down and unit won't even turn on. Tech scheduled tomorrow to take a look at it.

    Of course my original one ran like butter 24/7.

    ....of course.
