    Looks so much nicer and cleaner. I love the built in webcam too. No more white bumper is nice as well.

    the keyboard half of the lappy does look very neat and nice ( could do with a couple o vents like my I6000 lol ) but unless that's a card reader under the led's i'm a bit disappointed, if that's media controls next to the power button they are quite redundent also.

    Bad design. Dell should have put the 2 USB port at the back! Not on the left.

    I am not a lefty though.

    It doesnt look like a expresscard slot. For a new computer?
