Dell said the delivery date was going to be Oct 16 and my mini 9 arrived today - so take heart those of you waiting - it wont be as long as you think.

Uh - no. This is not a home theatre projector. Me thinks someone got excited by the numbers '1920' and thought 'ooh ooh it's 1080p!'. It isn't. It's a boardroom projector meant for larger screens with basic video support for better than average multimedia support. No vcopro, horribly low contrast, and brightness that would BLIND you as it reflected of a nice Stewart screen in your basement theatre room. BTW Your first clue should have been 'twin stereo speakers'.

Go back to bashing the Storm!

"ANYONE doing anything that needs those sort of specs is not going to be using a laptop."

Who needs it? I'm kicking myself for just picking up a fully loaded M6300 - I'm a developer that lives in SQL SVR and Photoshop.... I need the GFX card to run my 3840x1024 Matrox TripleHead Digital box, powering my 3 Dell monitors at the office. On the road, the DVI and VGA ports mean I can plug into any display for presentations. The Quadro card is not the Nvidia GPU that is failing, that's for the consumer BS game cards. With these laptops, not only can I run SQL in the background as fast and reliable as I can on the production server (within reason of course, 4MB ram limit for me), but I can resize 20MP images in the blink of an eye, all while keeping XSI open and rendering 32fps HD in the background.

So before mouthing off about how noone needs these, remember there are people with jobs that actually perform tasks on their laptops other than blogging about Diablo III.
