    Hello,
    I just ordered my M6400. the beast will arrive next week. here's the spec :

    CPU : QX9300 (2.53ghz Quad Core).
    RAM: 4GB (2 Dimms , I may add 2 more soon).
    Video : Quadro FX 3700M 1GB Discrete.
    Screen : 17 inch UltraSharp WUXGA (1920x1200) LCD Display
    HD: 320GB 7200rpm
    Integrated 2.0 MP webcam with dual digital array microphone

    I've heard many horror stories about the girth of the power brick. is there a smaller/lighter power brick I can get ?

    Thanks

    The power adaptor needs to have enough grunt to power a hungry pc: for a start, the QX9300 cpu is rated 45 watts, and the Quadro FX 3700M gpu is rated 75 watts. The adaptor is rated for 210 watts total, which is sensible, otherwise you would not be able to run everything at full load/speed. Better to have some redundancy there...

    Apparently the M6400 are now shipping with a slim 210W AC.
