(likely dell 6430). The two graphics options are intel HD 4000 and nvidia NVS 5200M. Dell is as expected suggesting the 5200M. I do not need 3D or fast response. Dell hinted that DVDs might not play with the intel HD 4000. This seems weird to me as the 4000 is supposed to be a big improvement over the 3000 and I can't believe dell or others would have sold laptops that can't play dvds Any comments or experiences? thanks, allan
