Nice. BTW, I was curious about the price and went to the Dell site (US) and couldn't even configure the laptop for the I7, 8GB, and SSD. How did you get your configured that way?

I haven't a clue. The IT guys at my job bought a bunch of them, so it probably isn't one of the standard configurations.

I always call directly and orders it exactly like I want it. That way I also get a much better price in contrary to what one may believe.

Congrats, Andy! Great stuff, indeed. I guess, it's also equipped with USB 3.0?
On a separate note, just a minor correction: it spells "Obligatory" 
Have a good one.
Cheers,
Alex

Nice, now just get an E series docking station, and you are all set.
I have E6500 with dock and 2 screens, and sometimes I even forgot that it's a Laptop. The only crazy thing is, it gets very hot when it is on dock (It is the graphics card trying to handle dual 24" screens).

I've got two docking stations. One at my desk and one at my treadmill both with dual 19" monitors. Nothing as nice as the 24" though. The monitor upgrades got squashed because they didn't fit in the right budget category.

dual monitors are always good, doesn't matter how big or small, two small monitors are much better than one huge screen (for work related PC). I have tried 3 screens but they were too much...almost overkill.

Not for me, I've used 3 and it worked great.

Install VS2012 before VS2010. They can live side-by-side, but the 2012 install fubar's the 2010 install.
