What do you folks think about this battleship style laptop? I could use some 3D capable laptop. At half price that doesn't look bad at all.

Any way to find out how many mini-PCIe slots it has, if any?
I've had the M4600 as a primary laptop for 3.5 years - which appears to be very similar in style and build - and it has been great for me.
I found the usability of the M4600 to be fabulous, and I have the higher quality screen which has been really nice. I found the M4600's durability to be excellent and I really like the feel and finish provided by its metal shell. I would make the purchase again in a heartbeat and I'm very value conscious.
But ... I'm unusual in that I am willing to lug around a much larger laptop than most people will indulge. The laptop is legitimately heavy and wide and thick, so it can be more logistically challenging to take places. It's power supply is 180W which is a lot for a mobile device. Yet I would still do the same thing if given the chance.
I purchased "reconditioned" (same as Dell outlet) through a very reputable seller on eBay and got a better deal than I could get through Dell outlet FYI. I got the 3-year warranty with it (and did the same in previous generations of Dell laptops) and needed that once - Dell was great about the warranty work.
