    Nice. Gonna have to ditch the M11x for an M14x if this is true. Hopefully it leans more on the portable design side than the M15x.

    Not sure why they'd sell a 17" and 18", though.

    m14x would be perfect. I just got my 11 and upgraded my desktop, or I'd be buying one!

    Hmmmm look like Dell is going back to the block style keys again for the keyboard? I like the Island ones better.

    I don´t like the look of the keys, looks like those 15 year old keyboards...

    I'm going to have to agree with this. Nice graphics options though if true.

    I'm guessing its because 'gamers' have gotten a little... ... heavier... ... and that they have problems pressing more than 1 key at a time. :(

    Although the hinge looks a bit sturdier than the m11x (cause it anchors on both sides of the hinge pivot) it still baffles me why they make a wide screen like this with hinges in the middle. For the sake of strength, can they not come up with a design where the hinges are more toward the edges?! Look at the gap between the bottom corners of the screen and bottom half of the laptop.
