    Sounds like someone is breaking an NDA or two...or Dell's leaking info to get consumer excitement up.

    Bull ****ing ****. If you read the review carefully, there are no specifics. It's all generalized bull crap - especially the price and customer service. If, IFF this is a leaked version - I'm sure as hell you can't just buy it now - there would be no price or customer service.

    I hate kids.

    No specifics...? Wow, I guess a description of the ENTIRE notebook with full specs and options...not to mention the first pricing estimate we've seen...isn't specific enough.

    Watch your mouth.

    All the swears are ***'ed out, and I'm trying to * out some of my more creative ones as well. Don't give me that grade-school-teacher stare :mad:
    Specifics like
    ...the inevitable quirks every laptop has. But no, this guy says its good.

    The specs he listed are standard Santa Rosa specs, I can invent/review the all new Batman 6000 with Santa Rosa specs too. Cmon.

    And this comment leads me to believe you're a Dell fanboy.

    I'm not trying to be offensive, but seriously. Just because it's new, and it's about a Dell - doesn't make it true. Heck, I might even buy it if the T61 doesn't ship by then... :rolleyes:

    Uhh..he's a moderator. I'm very excited about these new Inspirons because with the deals Dell gives out I can now get a nice looking, well-equipped notebook for a reasonable price. I'm not a fanboy (I'm sure night isn't either), just trying to get the most bang for my buck.

    No, I'm not a fanboy...but I think everyone will appreciate an option for a better looking notebook than what Dell currently has out. People have been complaining about the current notebooks for well over a year now, so change is very welcome.

    Umm, let's close this thread, seems everyone has said what needs to be said. Greg owns an HP and I can attest isn't really a fanboy for any brand.
