    Well, I placed the order tonight, core duo 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, 100GB 7200RPM HD, 512MB nVidia 120M, WUXGA 15.4" LCD, the works. I got the 4 year warentee with lojack (helps find a stolen laptop, I'm using this at college so its prolly worth it) which gave it a 5-day delay which sucks, but oh well I dont need it right away, I just REALLY want it!

    In total it was $3069, after all my discounts, it was $1874 thats like 40% off and theres normally no discounts on latitudes, but I got a 30% off+EPP discount+$150 mail-in rebate with the 4-year warentee so thats a great deal, I'm excited. I'll let everyone know how it is once I get it!

    Yeah, I hope I like the WUXGA, I know I like the super high res, I just hope it wont be too hard to read.
    I was going to ght the M65 but I got the 30% off and they said I couldnt use it on the M65 (which is BS cause I know other people who did use it) so I judt got this

    Just got my M65 today.
    I tested it asp for dead pixels and light leakage, to me relief it had none of the both :D
    so I found the fear for Dell's light leakage problems as none, luckyly :) so atm I sit and playing a bit with my new toy :D
