    it's the smaller version of the 90w. Me too I like the thin one with rubber strap.

    Does anyone know the product number of the UK Backlit keyboard?

    Is it the same as any of the other current Dell laptops? the 3350 or 3450 maybe?

    ok i have a situation here.

    i would like to upgrade the v131 to an SSD. i have a latitude e6410 with a samsung 470 ssd OEM. im thinking about swapping my hdd for that ssd.

    but i believe that is only a ssd 3gb/s, so should i get a 6gb/s ssd and leave the latitude alone?. and get a usb 3.0 enclouser to house the hdd.

    just received my charger, yes it is the smaller version of the 90w...which is cool, i like the form factor goes well with the size of the laptop

    but still no rubber strap....hate these velcro straps!!!! :(

    I'm a bit upset. I know this is irrelevant, but while I was replacing the hinges, I had two major things go wrong. First, my LVOD cable which was worn out already started getting in worse condition, and the screen started behaving erratically, but that has stabilized now, though I'll have to be very careful about it. Next, the replacement bezel snapped as I installed it, which just got me really pissed because the one it replaces is really worn, and now I have an ugly cracked bezel. Oh well, life sucks sometimes. Just a short rant.

    WHy arent you guys calling these in? In-House warranty will take care of it all? Well, I don't blame you. I did the same thing on my E5410. I called them up and said that I just received my laptop and the bezel is cracked. Tell them you didnt notice it at first because it flushed so well.. They'll send a guy out to fix it.
