I am seriously considering one, more than anything else for the 15.4 inch screen with a resolution of 1920 X 1200, assuming that I can get that out of XOrg. I want the resolution but don't want a monster laptop. Apart from that the price seems ok with 2G of memory, and a Intel? 3945 802.11a/g Dual-band Mini-Card (DW1390) that should work someday ;) I assume that the bluetooth will probably work and if not, no big deal.

Thanks in advance for any information or suggestions,

I have a Dell D820 (similar to the M65 I think). I have the nvidia graphics chip, and am running it just fine at 1920x1200, using either the nvidia binary driver, or the xorg nv driver.

Bluetooth works perfectly.

Wireless, not sure - I swapped mine out for an Atheros (you can buy them online, email me if you need some pointers).

Thanks, Eric. My problem is that I live in Mexcio but Dell has service and takes care of the importing, etc. so it makes a lot of sense to me. Plus I can get the 3 year total care, etc. here.

Have a great day,
