    The more I think about it the more it doesn't make sense. Why did Dell choose to put the LED screen and 2.0mp webcam as two seperate options? I realize the combo might be expensive, but if the Sony VAIO SZ can do it, I don't see why not for the Dell M1330. Anyone know why? A design flaw perhaps? :confused:

    The 2MP camera is too thick to fit within the LED screen (which is really thin and flexible)... go with the LED screen. There is a noticeable difference in looks/thickness and brightness.

    The LED screen comes with a 0.3MP integrated webcam. The 2MP webcam is only available on the regular screen.

    Yeah I was gonna chime in saying the LED version still does have a webcam, just not as nice probably.. not like you need a super high quality webcam. 2MP is overkill if you ask me.. A .3mp should suffice perfectly fine.

    Yea, 0.3MP = 640x480 resolution. So not great, but not that bad.
