    Looks neat, too bad they are not offering the LED backlit screen!

    This will probably be my next ultramobile laptop if there is ever a couple of nice stackable coupons!

    That's weird. According to JerryJ and his review, it's only available at walmart and walmart.com.
    But I just checked, and sure enough it's there.

    When it was first announced, Dell themselves said that it was going to be on their site 'later in the month'. I guess JerryJ just meant 'at the moment' it's only available at walmart or so?

    Anyway, waiting until it's going up at the Dutch Dell site, but no LED is a deal breaker imo. :(

    There's always the question though: which was online first? ;) And he has most likely written it before today.

    On the other hand, Bestbuy is also offering it on their website since a couple of days already! Hmmmm.

    Very true, or he's a talented reviewer if he did all that today! :p

    At this price for CTO, there's no Montevina or dedicated GPU.

    The new Inspiron is a lot better looking than the current models. A shame they don't offer the new processors.
