    Fantastic news. Hopefully, the refresh will be cheaper stateside. (Converted, the starting price is USD $1100! Although upping from an i3 to an i5 is only $60?)

    I converted it from the price listed on Dell's site. Click customize for specifics.

    Unless U.S Dell Site, The Malaysia Dell price is the cheapest price.

    So, the i3 version new M11x is $1100. Not good price what we‘ve expected. :(
    I've ordered a M11x(su7300.4GB) $739 after tax last sunday, just in case the upgraded M11x' price is absurd. Am I right? :confused:

    Price for i7 is horrible... Think if i3 won't give much of performance boost i'll stay on c2d until 4core ulv will be available.

    See no reason of staying on 2 cores in 21st century!

    So, it looks like the only change for the refresh will be the cpu.

    The i-Cores should actually show a substantial FPS boost for more CPU dependent games. (GTAIV, BC2, etc.)

    Good for specifications but not for pricing in the US.

    Looks like there's no option to chose the Core 2 Duo processors on the 'new' Malaysian site. So probably all new M11x orders will have to be i-cores.
