@oldturkey03 Won't be cheap due to the integrated palmrest :-(. While I'd love to scorn Dell, I know when the newer HP EliteBooks like the G7 hit the market in mass (they're already being decommed, so it's about when they get so common they're cheap) to point everyone has them for sale (not just refurbishers and ex-lease units) it's no better of a situation since the G6 was usually the last without that problem.

We need to shame the industry out of this bad design, not just Dell and HP.

@nick never is cheap. Integration of system because a burden on our wallets. Modular design would be the way to go, but then "they" don't make any money.
