    I just ordered one and I am impressed in the video of how easily he was holding it with one hand and that is the 15 inch model he said.

    They said the 15 inch isnt as portable but I am using a 15.4 inch acer and I carry it around just fine :)

    *sigh* if only you could understand half the things they're saying in the video, other then that, i am suprised at the ease of which he carries it.

    Hope they give us some real world review on here today =)

    Now that I've seen a real world video of it it doesn't look as ugly as I thought they were, not that the looks are that important to me.

    Can't wait for mine to come, just ordered today

    wow great find. I already tried to find videos on youtube, but I typed "Dell 1520" and did not find that video! But anyways, once again, great find.

    Great find kahlel, very clear visuals this time (too bad no english ><), the surfaces are shiny! :D

    Love the red, could be a BIT darker, but still love it. ^-^

    Could anyone translate/explain the strike zone thing?

    Also that video is way over saturated. The red will be darker in a normal video/ real life.

    Well, about translation, that guy says some interesting things:First, the Inspiron has a dedicaded multimedia button (called media direct) that is very useful when you are going to watch your photos, listening music, watching videos etc. automatically. Also, the laptop has a kind of antishock (called strike zone) that protect your laptop and in special the HD. It has slider button that lets you check out if the place where you are has wireless and advise you turning on a light.
