So as we all know the new 15" inspiron line will be rolling out at the end of this month. My question is, what kind of video card do you think they will pop into this thing?
DO you think they could have an option to put in a Nvidia 8700? Or will it never rise to be better then the XPS 15" line?

Am I right in assuming that the Inspiron is more of a basic everyday laptop for the Joe that just needs a machine for basic and some multimedia tasks?

Reason I'm asking is that I'm looking at a m1530 but am curious if (video card wise) the new Inspiron line might have a better video card?

Thanks!

I'm willing to bet all Inspirons will have nothing but integrated graphics while the XPS line will be the only one with discrete video.

The Inspiron line is aimed at people just looking for a basic notebook.....XPS is aimed at more of a performance seeking audience.
