    The Dell USA site has a link to the manual for the Inspiron 1526. Will the 1526 be released at CES? today?

    I was unable to get the technical specifications since they can only be accessed with a service tag, but the picture looks the same as the 1525 and the driver download page says that the ATI X1270 will be the graphics driver.
    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=INS_PNT_PM_1526&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=

    This seems to confirm that the 1526 will be identical to the 1525, except that it will have an AMD CPU and graphics. Presumably, it will replace the 1521, which has already been discontinued on the Dell USA site for a while now.

    1526 will be the AMD version of the 1525, and will only be sold in retail outlets.

    I wish theyed make upgrades for the 1420... 1525s are less portable and less powerful in terms of graphics.
