    FYI: the Panasonic uj152 bluray drive is 2x read. I've seen it labeled as a 2x and 6x drive:(

    This isn't the drive that dell uses, but they are cheap on fleebay.

    The only thing I can see is that if you ever want Bluetooth you will have to switch out that Wireless module since the m6800 does not have a separate Bluetooth attachment like the M6700

    I was running ANSYS 15 (Fluent for CFD) on mine today for several hours, CPU was at 114%, running at 3.2 GHz and never got throttled down, and the keyboard and palm rest never got warm :D

    Good job Dell!

    Check to see if Dell has preset profiles for the settings when connecting to projector
    You can also check to see if you have the latest video drivers, projector driver, and bios, as it could simply be a compatibility/recognition issue

    How about the Home and End keys on the M6800... where are they located and are they easy to access?

    I use these frequently and it seems the newer keyboards are making them harder to use with a simply key press... making them on a Fn level.

    Thanks!
