    i want to know what vid card the m140 has in it, thats the main selling point for me. Playing all my games with a i6000 x300 128mb PCI-E is great, but im a guy. I want more. :p

    No word on dedicated graphics. As far as I know, it will only contain integrated. But don't quote me on it until Dell announces something.

    LOL! Your right, If I wanted the m140, it would need to have at least a 6800 ultra-If it only has an intergrated GPU such as Eliwood suggested that would be a fatal mistake by Dell...

    Oh no, the 9300 is a very good laptop considering Dell. They still have the 600m and that was out when i was in the market about to years. For the 9300, i would give a guess it will be on the market for more than a year still. Sadly, they stopped making my 8600 a while back.

    I dont think they will show it right now. Before the release, you will see pics of it, but my guess is that it is just to be a mystery.

    There was no talk of an NDA, so I think I can pass this on: The new Latitude series will have widescreens, will be wider but less deep and less high. They look pretty - outside silver, inside black.
    Drives will be SATA, except for the D420, which will have 1.8" PATA. The D410 and X1 will be rolled into one machine, the D420, and have a widescreen 12.1" LCD. They'll let the D610 and D620 overlap for about half a year, to get customers used to widescreen. They talked about a 7 hour battery life for the D620, but I believe this is with an extra battery.

    Anyone know of the pricing scheme for those machines? A widescreen 12.1" D420 sounds interesting.
