    Do dell models that offer different display size options = different size cases, or fatter bezel around smaller screen?

    If you understand what I'm asking (specifically re: d520)- there is a 15" and 14.1" option. If you get the 14.1", is the notebook actually smaller, or is it the same size and they just put the smaller screen in the same case and lid, just surrounded by a wider bezel?


    I can't find a spec sheet at dell for the d520 listing size/weight etc like they have for all newer latitudes. Someone point me to a resource on this?

    A 14.1" D520 would just have a thick, fat bezel around it. Same 15" size, just small 14.1" screen.

    Ok, what I was thinking. 15 is a must in that case.

    Thanks night.
