    Hi there

    I'm looking at getting the 630m from Dell, but I need some info. What is the distance from the edge of the first row of keys (e.g. the space bar) to the front of the laptop? (i.e., the edge on the top where it kind of "rolls off"... the wrist rest looks a bit shorter than the base of the laptop).

    Essentially, I need to know how deep (wide?) the wrist rest is. I just got a 6000 and it's going back b/c the wrist rest is huge... I've had carpal tunnel in the past, and for some reason the big wrist rest on the 6000 really starts to make my wrists hurt after a bit. The 630m looks like it's a bit smaller, but I'd really like to know the exact spec.

    Thanks in advance!!!!

    Aaron
