    I'll believe that you got the RGB LED once you get that bad-boy in your hands and you can post some pics:)

    Well, let's see....
    First of all, the Physx card is now obsolete. Nvidia bought out Ageia and has now integrated physx support into the geforce GPU's.

    Second, most business people need PPU's in their laptops (these aren't really gaming machines).

    Because it's almost completely useless and because the few things which do use it are games, which is of no use for business.

    This is from the order tracking system on Dell's website.
    I just printScreen my order detail~
    Of course you can still say I fake the picture, which gives me nothing good for doing this~

    In comparison with same resolution (WUXGA) CFFL and RGB, it's about 120 US in the final price.

    I just picked the "talk to a representative on Dell Workstations" option to get some info from Dell, I was put in contact with a guy that didnt even know the m6400 would HAVE LED screens. He put me on hold, then said that they would be available by the end of the year?!?!

    He also said Blue Ray should be available, but obviously was only saying it cause the m4400 had it and didnt know anything about it otherwise.

    Its bad enough we can NEVER get availability info on coming parts - even those heavily advertised, but what good is a rep that doesnt even know the system??

    He said "thats news to me" when I mentioned that the m6400 would have an LED option screen.

    I agreed that for some rep/sales of Dell, M6400 is too new for them.
    I've ever contacted several local rep before the retail date, 1 one them even didn't know what I am talking about.

    After M6400 was shown on the website, none of them knew when can I order one. I choose the most active, fastest, and smartest rep who quickly got everything clear and helped me to finish my order.

    So.... I guess you can try some more rep/sales....

    PS: When did the choice of country flag increse in notebookreview forum? I've never noted it.

    I concede -- your the man!

    That does pi$$ me off a little that the RGB LED option is available in another country - before the US gets it...
