Re: pushed into a corner with logic and reason ... from you !?! HA HA ! The pair of you wouldn't know logic and reason if it bit you both on the ass ! Face it, either Centrino's TDP is a lie or Dell ain't building to it. Either way it looks bad for the product and Intel's flagship OEM ! ;-).
Most people comfortable with their positions act calm and composed, not agitated and pushy like a raving fool.
