    You and the 10,000 other people they are "considering." That beta test call goes out to sooooo many people. Probably have a better chance of winning the lottery.

    Hey Brendan,

    I'm pretty sure I got the same e-mail, also! It would be great if a few forum members were chosen! :cool:

    Good luck to you! :D

    I just signed up. It's cool that Dell has this program around to harness the expert opinions of the notebookreview community. The regulars here are usually pretty saavy and they know what they want in new machines. Hopefully some of us will get to be active testers and our input will go toward shaping upcoming lines of consumer friendly, well-performing products.

    Sweet, I signed up a few days ago.

    It'd be awesome to actually get selected for something like this.
