'There is almost no flex, except at the rear where the whole notebook casing flexes in when pushed hard'
'wide array of configuration options'
'When the notebook is off, one touch of the Dell MediaDirect button permits quick access to music, pictures, movies, and videos, regardless of their location--optical drive, hard drive, USB key, or the five-in-one media-card reader--through an intuitive Media Center Edition-like 10-foot user interface that includes full mouse and keyboard control.'
'Benchmarks aside, the laptop did not feel at all sluggish during our anecdotal use, when we performed basic tasks, such as checking e-mail, listening to music, and performing a quick system scan with Windows Defender.'
