    I think you go into "My Accounts" on the Dell website and it should tell you the specs

    In terms of my screen... I am sorry, I dont know how to compare it. I had two 640m systems. The first one I had to send back for defect. The 1st system had the Samsung screenn and I guess like you said, my second one (the one I am using right now) is a LG. In my opinion, comparing the two screens, I would say this one is a bit better but really, my opinion can be very off par to what you people might think. I am satisfied with the screen.
    It looks to be sharper for sure compared to the Samsung.
