    Maybe I'm being dense, but apart from aesthetics what is the benefits of E2E? The screen size is the same AFAIK. Both are glossy?

    Correction - The RGBLED is now available for the M6400 silver, but it is not the edge2edge. Edge2edge does not have a bezel around the screen (the screen goes to the very edge of the lid.

    E2E is same screen size, just a different facade, no?
    is the RGB LED on the silvers going to be glossy like the E2E or matte?

    I'm certainly not an expert, but I am fairly certain that E2E is indeed the same screen size, it's just aesthetically different because there is not plastic bezel around the edge.

    I think that it is likely that the RGBLED on the silver is matte as it does not show as a "truelife" display. As was stated previously by others, truelife = glossy.

    From what I can gather, edge to edge has 100% color gamut coverage. Whereas normal screens only has about 40% or so of color gamut coverage. I am sure people with heavy graphics background can go into detail about the pros of having 100% color gamut coverage.

    E2E has nothing to do with color gamut. The RGBLED (regardless of whether it is E3E or not) is supposed to display 100% of the Adobe color gamut. According to Dell, 2CCFL displays 75% of the color gamut and CCFL displays 45%.

    You are right, Percomp. This has sparked my interest as well. What is the difference? I think if you configure a standard M6400 and a M6400 Covet with the same specs except for the display, the difference is about $300.

    Let me clarify. There are 2 offerings of the RGBLED panels for the M6400 Carbide Silver. One with a bezel around it in an AG, anti glare, finish and one with E2E glass on it in a TrueLife finish. Both solutions use the same panel but in different configurations. Both have 100% of the Adobe color gamut and both panels are 300 nits. The E2E glass solution is not available yet on the Carbide Silver M6400 in the US.
