I read the specs on the Google Chrome Notebook site and it did mention that the screen is 12" diagonal. I would expect it to be 1366x768 as other screens in that size class typically are.

Well, I am a few days behind the times here, but I just applied for one as well. I suspect I am too late if people are already receiving them.

It's also a great reason to own multiple lappies! ;-) Seriously though, I have spilled full cups of hot coffee into my e1705 not once but twice! In both cases, I was able to get the machine cleaned and dried and it still works to this...

I just bought one of these from NewEgg over the weekend, it is on its way to my house as I type :-D 599.99 USD plus shipping. The unit I got has the 1.06GHz 520UM i5 (TurboBoost to 1.86GHz) 4GB DDR3 and 320GB HD, Intel HD graphics. I...

I have one of each! I use the nVidia Quadro model everyday and have no issues to date. I opened it up and swapped out the 1.83 C2D with a T7600 2.33 C2D and did the whole Arctic Silver thing on the CPU and replaced the heat pads on...

Just a note, I recently swapped out the motherboard in my D620 with a Dell refurbished board, the BIOS prompted me to enter the Service Tag on first boot as it did not have one assigned. There is definitely a way to clear the tag number...

Agreed, I have seen no compelling reason to move to a brand new machine with the high associated cost at this point, especially if one can run the latest OS with no problems at all. I do like the new Core i7 with 4 cores running Hyper...

Very nice write up! I recently picked on of these same units on eBay for a song and I have been pimping it out as well. I am trying to decide whether to upgrade the mother board to get the nVidia 110 video processor vs the integrated...
