    All they have right now is the D620 which doesn't meet all my needs. When will they come out with some more Duo Core models. i've finaly decided on the M140 to take advantage of the 10% off deal. I'd get the D620 if it had the glossy screen but unfortunately it doesn't. how much will I be missing out on if I get a 2Ghz Pentium M as opposed to a Duo Core processor?

    The E1405 will have Duo Core, and TrueLife 1280x800 & 1400x900 14.1" widescreens and a dedicated graphics card... I can't wait for it.

    It's like Dell's little secret. The sales reps can't tell you anything about the 1405.

    The 1405 will be out soon. i doubt with the XPS, since that will be in this month still.

    If i gave a guess, it would be out before the end of next month

    I wish it was sooner. Too bad it isn't going to be released at the end of April.

    Wait a munte, that's the exact same graphics card as the M140, I can't believe they didn't even go up to the 950 instead of the 900(the observation I just made may be incorrect)
