Thanks for your review. I agree the 9520 is nearly perfect except that it has a 16:9 screen. Although the 9420 has a 16:10 screen with similar specs, the important (to some uses) caveat about it is that there is no SmartCard reader option on the 9420. The 9520 does have that option, so it comes down to a choice of the screen aspect ratio vs. SmartCard; you can't have both with any model currently offered by Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft, etc. It's a shame that as the industry moves towards 16:10 and 3:2 aspect ratio screens, they are dropping the SmartCard reader options.
