    Dell just called me back to confirm my order. It looks like I'm going to get my M4500 soon!

    Is the 1600x900 white led panel antiglare or glossy?

    Antiglare. I'm pretty sure a glossy option doesn't exist for Precisions (If you don't count the M4400's RGBLED screen).

    About to order a M4500 as a replacement for my Latitude D820 and have been going through this great (but long) thread in preparation. One question though... And apologies if this has already been answered but could not find any solid info.

    If I order the M4500 with a 64GB SSD mini card ONLY. Is it then "plug-and-play" to add a secondary 500 GB disk or are additional parts needed? I've got a almost new 500 GB disk already and the price Dell want for shipping with a secondary disk is ridiculous.

    Why not ask the rep? I want to know it too.

    Believe me, I have tried :) Keep getting inconsistent answers depending on rep I talk to.

    I did exactly that. The minicard of course does not use the hard disk slot and the hard disk slot is empty.

    Do you know which 3rd party SSD minicards work with the M4500?
