    I doubt it's going to be that expensive at medium spec. I think 'IloveRAM' is having some jealousy issue because he just got a M4400 :p

    Lol, no but I mean 16GB, 2 HDs, 2 GPUs...configure that anywhere else on a laptop its pretty darn expensive! And this Dell we're talking about, from the Business line. Not even Home line, meaning discounts are gonna be hard to find...

    It should be a lot better price if you buy the RAM and HDDs yourself... But if you're getting this beast, you should at least be getting a decent CPU, GPU, and screen... at least that's my plan...

    LOL. But seriously, 16GB, 2 GPUs (is that an option on M6400?) isn't considered medium spec. That's full blown spec. And this is Dell that we're talking about, not Lenovo, or HP. I mean, the M4400 starts at below $1500. Try that with a W400 (if Lenovo decides to make one). Or HP6930W.

    well, they can take the crappy route as AW did... offer only the upper tier selections and lock the price range up there...

    that is what i fear...

    but again... all speculations... let's see what happens...

    Regarding pricng... HP's 8730w is priced at $2300-$3200 for a FX2700M equipped model. Add $500 for a FX3700 and $500 for "dreamcolor" (just a guess) and you're looking at numbers in the $3300-$4200 range.

    Lenovo's W700 starts at $3000 with a FX2700M... add WUXGA and a FX3700 and you're looking at prices starting at $3600.

    Add more RAM, a high-end CPU, and a big hard drive to any of these configurations and you could be looking at an additional $500-1000.

    Unless DELL severely undercuts the competition (which is doubtful given its claims of building the highest-end workstation laptop in the business), I would guess prices for the M6400 would be pretty close to these two competitors (probably on the low side rather than the high side, though).

    The W700 is probably a good benchmark. Unfortunately as soon as you add the QX9300 (quad core) the price starts at 4253.00 US
