    Hi

    I am interested in purchasing a Latitude from Dell Outlet. In some of the available laptops 'Webcam' is explicitly listed as an available option, whereas when you check the webcam option from the options/filter tab (available on the left), some of the laptops which appear donot have that option clearly listed.

    I wanted to know how accurate is that description and how to ascertain it? Specifically I am looking for a latitude e6430 which has a backlit keyboard and a webcam.

    Thanks

    Call a rep. Quote that machine.

    The only option boxes I found to be fairly accurate was Windows version and HDD option. Best bet is either call a Rep (oddly, not always friendly or sound like they are happy to help you find something) with a system you picked out and ask, or if you can't find exactly what you want. I used Windows 7 as my only filter, and had it sort by price and sifted through them. I'm a bit OCD and kept checking until they had the config I wanted (it's tough to ever find one with a fingerprint reader!), and saved $500+ over new with an Outlet coupon :).
