    With the M6600 & M6700, Dell went to a 16:9 aspect ratio; which a lot of people complained about; the M6400 & M6500 were 16:10, which is most suitable for business and serious use. Hope they were revert back to 16:10, because at 1920 x 1200 resolution is very practical for serious business use, and this laptop is supposed to be for serious business use. As a spreadsheet developer and coder, the vertical resolution is critical, and I am sure many other people who use this laptop for business would agree. Let the consumer/video watching crowd have the 16:9's. Come on Dell!

    It's not just Dell...but all other OEMs. If there were other OEMs with 16:10 mobile workstations and Dell was the only one running 16:9, then there would be something to complain about. But why would Dell go back to 16:10 when all other competitor's products are 16:9?

    Have you heard of a term called Unique Selling Point?

    All 2013 ultrabooks by Asus, Acer, Dell, HP, Toshiba, Sony, Lenovo, Samsung so far, all of them, are 16:9. None of them have any unique selling point whatsoever, they are all homogenous except their look. If any one of them do 16:10 they can have my money and I am sure many others.
    16:10 is no question a superior resolution to 16:9 for productivity. Even watching movies, 16:10 can fallback to 16:9, I don't understand why it isn't more popular, except price of course. But these ultrabooks are not budget products, it is ridiculous we pay US$1300 for some of those offerings and none provided 16:10.

    Macbook Air is 16:10, even a Apple hater (less now since Steve Jobs has passed away) like me is seriously considering it. Although 1440*900 is not enough for productivity use, so I will probably wait for MacBook Pro retina.
