    Awesome!

    Hope it will be as good as 630m!

    Do you know how long it takes for Dell Canada to have newly released laptop on Dell USA?

    They usually do, I guess it might be around the same price the E1505 had when it launched....

    Yep thats the killer for me... if they even had an x1300 option it would be a consideration...

    Excluding XPS, dell has graphics adapters all right... they put ATIs 'Thin-n-Light' chip in main stream notebooks, and put integrated only in their thin-n-lights.

    One of my concerns about getting an e1505 was that they would release an e1405 with x1400 graphics... and id want one... well no danger of that. lol.

    That's pretty much what we expected, although I would have liked to see the weight a bit lower. The integrated graphics aren't a big killer for me since it's an improvement over the M140 and will be able to run Vista. Are there any pics out yet?

    at 14 inches they are probably cramped for space, there arent that many options even for their 15 inch notebooks :D

    Dell has never put webcams on their notebooks in the past so I'm not sure the e1405 will have them.

    When tommorow will the e1405 be on the site? I want to start comparing the deals for tit with those for the 640m.

    620m and 610m never existed, the 600m did have a dedicated graphics card. and the 630m only has Intel 900 IG.

    If only it had dedicated graphics...

    What I don't get, is they can pop in dedicated graphics in a 12" (M1210) but not a 14" (E1405)?!?

    Well, it is 5/1. What time does Dell usually make new products available on their website? I have been waiting for this laptop to launch so I can price it against some other laptops.

    By the end of the day I hope... but I hate Dell.ca, when they make a deal, you can't upgrade the CPU and I'm pretty sure they'll offer the T2300 but I want the T2400 :(

    I got on now to spend some time comparing prices since I won't be able to order it until Wednesday. I want to start deciding between the e1405 or the 640m

    when they have it pm me will you? That way when I check later I won't have to search Dell in vain for it.
