    Why is there only an option for RGB LED on M17x and not on the other AW systems?

    Just out of curiosity, why IS there no option for an RGB LED on the M15x yet? Is this just reserved for the M17x as a selling point?

    I would also like to know this ? if the Studio XPS 15" can have the option why cant the M15x.
    The RGB takes up Less power, and doesnt need a inverter, it sounds like a perfect upgrade for a m15x :D

    M15x with rgb would be perfect. the rgb screen is the only thing that makes me want an M17x.

    Yeah, this kind of thing still make me wonder about the AW group sort of being neglected internally at Dell... XPS has been the king for so long.

    CES is happening right under our feet, and we are wondering if the m15x will get an update? :p

    Hey, I am hoping for an IPS display, but I know that isn't *best* for gaming XD

    j/k, I've yet to see a RGB-LED in person, but I'd sure like to :)
