    Can you take any pictures of it?

    This is interesting; I didn't realize this was the case. I guess we'll see how long the battery lasts soon enough.

    so how big is the power supply. I own a 5 year old Dell 9100 and its power supply is

    6.5" by 3.25" by 1.75".

    So is it bigger than that?

    mine is considered huge but I carry it every day to work and back and have the whole 5 years (4.5 years actually).

    Let us know!

    thanks!!!

    Thank you. That may be a deal breaker for me. I didn't realize it would be so freaking big. I wonder if the system can get by on the road with a smaller AC unit if one did not game or otherwise use too much power. I guess we'll have to wait to find out...

    So that card on there is a MICRO SD card right? ha ha just kidding.

    Well ****, it is slightly bigger than the beast on my laptop. Though it is signifigantly a thinner laptop than mine (15.4" so its obv. longer and wider).

    now what the heck is going on with the **** LED screens!?!?! For this and the HP8730w.

    Was the 2/4GB turbo memory an option?
    What is your configuration?

    I don't remember seeing turbo memory as an option. The M6400 uses the Q43 chipset and I'm not sure if that chipset even supports turbo memory, it's a desktop chipset. My config is:
    • P8400 cpu + Vista Ulitmate 64
    • 2GB 2dimms
    • FX3700 video chip
    • 1440x900 display
    • 8x DVD+/-RW
    • 80GB hard drive
    • camera+mic
    • swipe fingerprint reader
    • BT370 module
    • Dell WLAN 1397
    • Dual AC adapters
