E6330 Owners Thread - Help, Discussion, Mods, etc.

Hi All,

I didnt see a thread for this model, so I thought I would start one. I just got myself one of these:

i5, 4GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 13.3", 6 cell battery + 3 cell DVD drive battery.

I want to do a couple of mods if possible, 1600x900 display and possibly a backlit keyboard! BOOM! It would also be fun to throw in a discrete graphics card but I doubt that is an option!

Anyone else rocking one of these?

 

Don't have one yet, but may very well buy one to upgrade from my dying M1210 (great little laptop it may have been). Would be great if it was possible to upgrade the display.

 

I am further investigating this laptop and as far as I can see, it has no powered usb ports. Bit of a shame as I find this a really useful feature. It is present on the 6430, but never mentioned in reviews of the 6330. Can anyone confirm it does not have one of those.

Also I noted that Dell now seem to exclusively use Alps touchpads. As far as I know these do not allow a double click when pressing both buttons at the same time. Is this still the case?
