    Hi Everyone,

    I looked but was suprised to see no one had spotted this earlier. The Dell Australia store lets you buy the new Inspiron 13!

    The price is $1,299 with NO options to choose from which is a shame. Something interesting though is when you view the photo gallery, it shows multiple colour options which tells me they are coming but Dell havn't prepared properly.

    The specifications are mid range off the bat, which I think is overkill and prices the laptop out of the market it's trying to sell to.

    Nice find!
    It's awesome this model comes with a T8100 but the price is way too high. The $850 (USD) BestBuy model is much more bang for the buck imo.

    And now.. just wait for it to appear on Dell.com =D

    To tell you the truth, I think this is going to be cheaper tan the M1330.

    If anything, this is the Studio/Inspiron equivalent of the XPS model. I'm guessing if there's upgradeable graphics, it'd be in the 8400/9300/9400 vein.
