    I think so Quad. The pre-production units show an edge to edge piece of glass.

    On the website where you order, it looks just like previous models without the glass.

    The big difference of course, is that they used two light sources now.

    Ya but i thought they confirmed they were all Edge2Edge Glass ? even the Wxga ones . Just not a fan of the glass after owning the W90 , makes a great shaving mirror in a pinch though :).

    All the E3 stuff looks E2E. Guess _Dell has biffed up photos at the build site?

    Ya im thinking that its just a render and will not look like those come final production models and more akin to the photos in the Alienware lounge. Im sure you saw that making of video on the M17x(who hasnt right ?) in that when they are interviewing the guy they actually use the reflection of the glass while talking to the guy so they point the camera at the screen while he is talking since its a perfect mirror lol .

    All M17xs will come with the edge-to-edge glass display, regardless of resolution.

    Cool. Too bad the pictures at the order site are misleading.

    Thanks Chaz.
