    Anyone with the new Inspiron 1464 know if the lid/screen can open flat? (180 degrees)

    I've been looking at getting a notebook to replace my 700m 12". This new 1464 seems to be the lightest comparable dell (since Dell isn't making 12" anymore, and the 13" actually weigh more than this new 14"; also the 11z is more of a netbook power-wise)

    Anyhow, I use my notebook on the sliding keyboard tray by opening it flat (and covering the screen) and letting it roll under (it's the only way I can work on my desk and use external monitor with my notebook).

    thanks

    And purchasing a keyboard is not an option? They are quite inexpensive.

    On the 1464, the curvature where the screen joins the keyboard makes it *impossible* to lay the screen flat.
