    Of course Canada gets the shaft interms of pricing. $799cad for the su7300 model.

    Also, why has Dell given its new laptops big arses. It's silly. You can allow for ports in the rear without having to resort to this silly design.

    EDIT: I believe they did it to achieve a slimmer profile overall.

    the machine looks _really_ Great, but it's a little weak in the knees for me....

    I wonder if that Celeron CPU will out perform my 1.6ghz AMD TF-20 laptop, cause if it's close to it performance wize then I think I found my new laptop.

    I really like the concept, but the keyboard and the touchpad look hideous to me.

    Looks awesome. Just needs a HDMI port and decent keyboard. Bezel seems a little thick too. Non-removable battery does kind of suck as well.

    Yeah but the Vostro 1330 looks way cheaper and "plasticky" (esp the glossy black plastic lid)

    I really wanted to like this, but the internal battery is a deal breaker. Still, a nice machine from Dell, looks pretty good! :D

    agreed :)
    they also charge extra for the os upgrades too. the middle version is vista,

    yes, but a 1330 is twice as thick lol.. and really really ugly.
    looks might not be the #1 thing on my list, but its pretty high up their. if i was all about the looks and "cool factor" i wouldve bought an mbp a long time ago.

    i guess its all about what you would rather have. everything isnt about performance. id personally rather have less performance w/ a smaller nicer form factor. which is exactly why im planning on grabbing one of these :)



    anyone wanting to get one in canada: if you use the middle configuration than upgrade the cpu, comes out to 770, but u get vista. if you already own win7 though thats a better option imo.
