Yes, but only in Honduras and Denmark, and then only with a 1386 x 768 display...

BTW, at the moment we can get all the relevant 1749 CPU options in Norway, but still not the 1080p screen unless you twist the arm of a sales rep. You can get a Blu-ray drive and multi-touch with the 1749 but not the 1747 (arm twisting will help again). You can get the 9 cell pack with the 1747 but not with the 1749. Etc, etc..

I do not understand why the options for any given modular Dell model depends on which country you order from, how the website happens to be set up that day and who you get to talk to at sales etc.. I thought the whole idea of modular construction and JIT manufacturing within an international organization was to be able deliver any spec to any customer anywhere. It seems more like a lottery to me...
