Hi Tony,

Hm, I just held a LAN party this weekend for a bunch of friends, and I ran my computer on a 15" LCD screen, with not problems of trailling pixels whatsoever. (Heck, I even managed to frag some Nazi's, and never fell into the lava).

The new LCD screens are far better than they used to be. Of course it's not a 120 hz CRT yet, but I found it surprisingly good even for FPS stuff.

Anyway, I've ordered the M40, so I'll give you my opinion on it when it arrives. I just saw and held the unit today, to feel out it's size and weight. It wasn't that bad (not compared to their early Inspiron units anyway).

I'm pretty exited to see the 15" on the M40 with 1600 x 1200 resolution.

I do know not to expect a lot of battery-life from it (less than 2 hrs), but what can you expect with a huge processor/graphics card.... nothing comes free (not even a lunch according to tanstaafl).
