    Just picked up my Inpsiron 13 from Wal-Mart 2 days ago. So far so good. A nice looking mobile laptop for only $698.

    Here is what's out on the net.

    electronista – The Inspiron 13 promises to challenge the MacBook and other 13-inch portables by pushing the cost well below others while also providing dimensions and features that aren’t always carried over into budget notebooks. The system weights a relatively light 4.5 pounds, but still finds room for a slot-load DVD drive, touch-sensitive media controls, and a sturdier, one-piece “barrel” hinge…

    GIZMODO – The Inspiron 13 laptop is a great choice for back to school shoppers looking for a smaller, lighter, more efficient mobile PC. With a starting weight of just under 5 pounds, the Inspiron 13 combines a simple and clean design encased in glossy Pacific blue with black trim…

    mobile magazine – … the physical design of the laptop is also quite attractive, boasting a similar rounded hinge as the XPS m1330. Best of all, prices start at under $800. In fact, if you want to cheap out a little further, Wal-Mart reportedly has a configuration of the Dell Inspiron 13 for just $700. That's not that much more than one of those subnotebooks that everyone is talking about these days.

    Tech Gadgets – Dell has expanded its Inspiron family with the new Inspiron 13, delivering quality performance with style at a reasonable price.

    Do they have a display model for you to play around? The Walmart in my area doesn't have this model on display.
