mohan - Yes, I would say that is both newsworthy and also of interest to DELL investors. Several years ago, DELL made a very savvy move into CPQ's laptop space beginning with an in-depth product engineering and feature review. As a result they were well-positioned to take advantage of some of CPQ's disarray in the laptop business, and have continued to expand on that opportunity with great products and superb execution. DELL is now the team to beat in the laptop space. The inclusion of the LS-120 in a laptop is a great idea, but it is one in a long list of engineering achievements in laptops by DELL. I use a DEC HiNote 2000 (which is now out as a CPQ Armada 6500) which is also a great machine but was much higher priced than equivalent DELL models. If DELL had made the 14" screen model at the time I made this purchase I would probably have bought a DELL laptop. I expect DELL to hammer their advantages in the laptop space, both in product capability and reliability. This is another big and visible entry point into large commercial accounts.
