    Or at least whatever came before the Inspiron line?

    My memory only goes back as far as the E1505 (The silver one with white outlines), then the Inspiron 15 with the silver and curved edges and now the nice shiny black ones..

    To my knowledge, here's the progression of the Inspiron 15" models-

    6000- the first with a 16:10 aspect ratio 15.4" display
    6400/E1505- same laptop, the 6400 was sold as the 'business' model
    1501- AMD-based version of the E1505
    1520- update of the E1505 based on Intel's Santa Rosa platform
    1521- AMD-based verison of the 1520
    1525- revised 1520 with tapering design, thinner and slightly slighter
    1526- AMD-based verison of the 1525
    1545- current version, made the switch to a 15.6" 16:9 aspect ratio display
