1210 with no 7200 rpm option

anyone else notice this. I was trying to put one together with 100gb 7200 hd but does not exist for the 1210???

 

Yeah it looks like they arnt offering 7200RPM HDD's on the 1210 now. They were, I have that hard drive in mine. What ive noticed with dell and their site, is that it changes on occasion. Its an XPS so its going to have a 7200 RPM because XPS mean performance. Just give it a week or 2 and it will change again and likley offer it. They do the same thing with gfx cards on their desktops, I found that out when I was going to get an XPS 400, before I decided to get a laptop.

 

Don't know much about the 1210 but does it normally come with a 7200?

Edit: Sheff answered my question.

 

It still has the 7200rpm option on the Canadian site.

U.S. thing?

 

I think I know the reason why it's affecting the U.S. site.

Bush ordered more troops to Iraq and so Dell's revenue went down and THEREFORE had to remove the 7200 rpm option. Yeah, I know, it sucks.

 

Dont even pulll that crap. They're just updating their site, and sometimes things dissapear for a while. It makes no sense why they would permently remove the 7200rpm option from an XPS system.

 

let's call it a joke.

if the thread craps out into a political flamewar, you're all getting spankings

you've been warned

 

supply and demand here, when they run out of stock different options become avaliable

 

Just buy one, thats what I am doing. I found this and it looks REALLY easy to do-

 

I'd guess it has to do with a temporary 7200rpm shortage. They're not available on the E1505, either. Probably just a burp in the supply chain, so they're holding them for other systems.
