A nice feature is the release latch for the modular bay on the side of the machine see picture rather than the bottom as it was for my Presario , making it much easier to swap out the drive, especially with power cord, ethernet, mouse, etc attached.
Four USB ports is a nice bonus in this notebook. I always have a mouse attached, and often have the above mentioned USB audio device attached. That still leaves two open ports for USB drives, peripherals, etc. The old Presario would definitely bog-down, especially with graphics intensive apps such as deepview and specific powerpoint slides.
Another common use for my notebook is to rip and encode music. I also tried Battery Eater Pro. I would estimate about 3 hours of light-duty computing from the primary battery alone. In less than 24 hours they responded and shipped an entire new AC adapter, letting me keep the extra part.
I have also contacted Dell concerning the headphone feedback noise problem. I was first instructed to reinstall the audio drivers and disable specific system components. If and when a solution arises, I will definitely have Dell fix the problem.
They respond quickly and when the problem can be solved, they take care of it right away. I think it would suit the mobile professional or student who needs a portable yet fast and responsive system for business and office applications quite well.
I am especially impressed with the build quality and durability and the keyboard, but I am very disappointed with the noisy headphone jack issue, and cannot decide whether I would have avoided this machine had I known about this ahead of time. I can accept limitations of the system such as video or processor speeds. I have a hard time swallowing design or aesthetic problems on a machine that is brand new, especially one that requires me to carry around an extra piece of hardware to solve it.

Keolis 2 Bronze. I am also having trouble powering on. I even changed the battery and it still won't power on. The extra memory your talking about was installed when you ordered your computer or installed afterwards?
Can it be easily removed without opening the computer? Best of luck. Thanks for your post. I've removed my MB card and it now turns on without a problem.
