DELL JUST CAME

"... the E4200 looks like a Sony TZ without the build quality nightmares and non-functional accessories."

Build quality nightmares and non-functional accessories on the TZ? What are you talking about, Charlie? I own a TZ and it doesn't have any of the faults you mention. I can't find any reviews or forum posts from TZ owners that claim to have these issues, either. I would love to hear what accessories are non-functional for the TZ. 

I can see that you generally don't fancy VAIO notebooks by your writing, but what's the point in spreading these false and baseless impressions of the TZ? It doesn't add any more validation to your "fanboyist" praise of these new Dell notebooks; rather, it just paints you as being some sort of shill working for Dell.

Any word on Dell producing drivers for their printer line up.

I've been waiting for a while now.

Looks like the Precision M6400 will support upto 16GB of memory... hmmm 4x so-dimm sockets...

Who picked out those model names? They're a bit close to the Intel CPU chip lines aren't they?

E6400? They're not even trying.

Wow! you are saying the "control vault" models are equipped with a contactless card reader? Wonder if it will be a standard PCSC reader, so you can also use it with general ISO 14443 cards, or to read your own ePassport, for that matter. That would be a great feature indeed (well, for some of us, I guess).

Dell has some information on the 17" Precision mobile workstation at dell.com/nocompromise
16GB RAM, Dual 30" LCD support, 1TB via dual HDDs, Quad Core...

If you are thinking about buying one of these new Dell laptops, and especially if you live in the UK, can you please click on one of their ads across the Inquirer. Dell track all their advertising, and it would serously help our site performance and help encourage them to keep on investing in the site.
