the front panel is not motorized.  not sure if this is regular area-51, or motor is not working.

in dell system configuration, it is listed as area 51.  Dell support told me for the first model, both area 51 and area 51 ALX are listed as area 51 in system look up.

I can not tell whether the panel is matte black or semi-glossy black.

does anyone know how to tell?
