About to pull the trigger on M4400

Hey guys,

I'm about to pull the trigger on an M4400 and was wondering if there was anything I should know before buying it. It'll be used for school work and intense Pro Engineer work. I've heard of problems with the RGB led screen. Is that still happening? Should I wait for the new icore7-like processors? Do you guys see the price coming down a lot in the next few weeks?

I'll come to around $1850

Here's a list of the parts:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9550 (2.66GHz, 6M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)

15.4" UltraSharp™ WUXGA (1920x1200) RGB-LED TRUELIFE Display

NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB

1.0GB, DDR2-800 SDRAM, 2 DIMMS (Gonna upgrade to 4gb from newegg)

80GB Hard Drive, 5400 RPM (gonna upgrade to 320gb from newegg)

9 Cell Battery

Intel® WiFi Link 5300 802.11a/g/n Draft Mini Card




Thanks!

Guess that this is a late reply. But you probably see that price is coming down already

cheers ...

Yes,all a bit late to the party.
Ya the M4400 will smoke anything in pro-E you will be doing at school,unless your moonlighting for Toyota or something and have massive dataset's.

Dell have jacked up the price of the M4400 in NZ nearly 1k since I bought mine.

This will be my last dell,I'm sick of being bent over by dell,US customer's now pay half of what I pay after currency conversion...HP and Lenovo are far cheaper now for me,and as a rule have far better global parity with pricing.
