    I am sure in dual core models, as Sony offer their Vaio TT with an optional blu-ray drive, and I can play HD video on mines. However, not sure in the single core models.

    I am not interested in single core models, i don't have a netbook either, every time i think of a sigle 1.6 i cringe, it reminds me of my 1.6 celeron processor. Man i hate those days, so damn slow! Intel makes great amazing processors and if it can take it then good. Thanks.

    Anyone knows what color it'll come with or if there's a color option?

    It'll be metallic alumnium in a standard aluminum color. (eg. Not Painted) Since this is a business system the chances that it'll receive the full color range of Inspiron's is unlikely. It could...maybe...possibly get a cherry red option like some Vostro models though.

    I'm having second thoughts about this, checked the HP 5310m which cost about the same but with a much better CPU SP9300 (vs SU7300) on the Dell. On the other hand the Dell has 4GB memory for the same price, not sure which of these 2 will perform best.

    Best price I could find on a new 5310m with that processor is $857.
    You would have to order the 5310m with a Celeron Processor ($699) to get close to the V13's best config price($649).

    I have a 5310m so I can tell you without a doubt it is a great laptop...especially considering the price.

    It is also my opinion that HP overall,makes a superior product compared to Dell.
    The V13 is an excellent buy($450 config) for those considering a Netbook However.

    ProfessorShred, did you decide to order a Dell V13?

    Should I cancel by order and get a 5310m instead?

    That is the biggest joke I have heard in a long time!
    I own both HP laptops and Dell laptops, I have first hand knowledge that this statement is false.
