    Hi there,

    I am thinking to buy a Dell m90 (or m65) from Dell online outlet, but I've noticed that Dell does not provide any info about the screen size, are there any ways for me to obtain the info of the screen size? that's pretty important to me. thanks in advance.

    What do you mean by screen size ? the diagonal ?
    M90 is a 17" wide screen notebook while M65 is a 15.4" wide screen, their size are fixed. If you are talking about the resolution then click on the "View System Specs" link of the inventory item.

    thanks. and sorry for the confusion. what I want to say is that on the "View System Specs" link Dell does not specify the screen resolution. Here is a for example:
    SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
    Precision M90 (System Identifier. FXE13GAL)
    M90 Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5600 (1.83GHz 2MB L2 cache 667MHz FSB
    Genuine Windows® XP Professional SP2
    System Price £1,171.99

    Dell recommends Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
    Operating System: Genuine Windows® XP Professional SP2
    Memory: 2.0GB, 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM Memory (2 x 1024MB)
    Hard Disk Drive: 60GB (5, 400rpm) Hard Drive

    MISC: Software Drivers

    Since your example has the price in £ I assume you are referring to the UK Dell outlet. Earlier I thought it was the US outlet, because they have the resolution listed in the "View System Specs" link.

    Anyways, I checked UK Dell outlet and found out that for some reason, Precision series notebooks are missing resolution in the detail section. But for other notebooks (i.e. Inspiron ,Latitude) they have a field called "Notebook screen". I also noticed that Precision notebooks are listed under Precision Workstations, that might explain the missing field, must be due to a bug in their system. I think the only way to find out is to call them.
