Not that I would ever use a monster like this on my lap, mind you. That was pointed more towards mainstream lappies with the off-center touchpad. Something like this would likely have my Nostromo n52 and my Logitech G7 hooked up to it...]]>Aug 23rd 2007 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/
There is a bit of perspective distortion in the photo that makes it look like the touchpad is even a bit to the left of the B key. Here is a copy of the keyboard photo with the distortion removed, to make it easy to see where the touchpad is centered:

I can't say whether or not the leaked pictures qualify as a "flashy industrial design"]]>Aug 23rd 2007 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 23rd 2007 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 24th 2007 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/
"Additionally, Dell is going to a lot of trouble to "trick out" the laptop, offering customizable external LED lighting, adjustable keyboard lighting, and "flashy industrial design with color customization options."

Let's hope 'color customization' includes a light coloured case to match the light keyboard: that is the single most offensive thing... I previously speculated that the bright-red panels are LED panels, so they can be turned off altogether, or made a colour that matches better with the chosen case colour.

But no eSATA port? Sad!]]>Aug 24th 2007 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/
I know that a hardcore gamer machine is supposed to look like a warrior: a tough hombre with tattoos and broken teeth and an eyepatch and scars and missing fingers and always angry and mean... but it COULD look like a pretty japanese RPG character: pretty hair, flawless complexion, colour-coordinated, but underneath it all, a highly disturbed level 60 mage / fighter, wielding a +20 mace.

There are other options for "hardcore gamer" here!]]>Aug 25th 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 27th 2007 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 27th 2007 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Aug 30th 2007 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/dell-m1730-gets-confirmed-specs-and-release-date/Nov 1st 2007 3:29PM
