    Now, I ordered it with 4GB ram and when I check it under systems, it says 3,582MB RAM... Is that normal? And how do I check if I have the LED or the CCFL screen?

    Vista or XP x86? If so, that's normal unless you get the x64 version.

    not too sure but you could try my computer Properties - hardware - device manager.

    Quick question:
    hows the build quality on your m1330?

    Pretty good. No quirks as of yet. *knock on wood*

    The remote control is indeed a very nice touch.

    congrats :) I hope mines turns out fine too.

    btw, since you mention it. does the remote stick out when you have it inserted?

    I wouldn't say it sits perfectly flush (there's just a tiny bit that sticks out), but you won't notice too much of a difference if you're not sitting right next to the notebook.

    Measure the thickness of the display, my CCFL is ~8mm, the LED should be roughly around 5~6mm.
