    Thanks, but are there any user forum discussions regarding the 2930?

    I cannot find anything about user comments.

    This was my top pick for my next notebook. Then I did some haggling with my Dad and Dell, and got into a Studio XPS 13 for less money thn I could find this for.

    I would recommend the 6850 sub-model, as it has awesome specs for not a whole lot more money. You can find it for $679 through Amazon, versus $499 for the lower spec'd version. Well worth the extra money.

    Best Buy did have the 6850 for 519, but sold out the day I got the money to order. So, Dell got my business, and I wound up with a $1400 system for about $500, said and done.

    FWIW...

    Can the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD card that comes with this model be updated to another card?
