    I was looking at the 1520 configurator this morning and noticed several interesting things.

    The lowest Speed processor offered is 1.6ghz (used to be 1.5 i think)
    Dell now offers the 1.83ghz (T5550)
    The 1520 comes with a 8400GS, there is no option for integrated graphics.
    There's now 100$ instant savings, which doesnt really matter b/c you will probably be using a coupon.
    1520s can only be configured with XP now

    It appears my old configuration of the defualt set up with a 8600gt and 2.0ghz processor is slightly more expensive now too :( (about 30$)

    If you want it, and not the 1525 or Vostro 1500, you should get it now. It will probably be discontinued soon.

    1520s are still on the site, if you look under the row of the 1525,1420, and 1720 there is a grey bar that says "Still Looking For Windows XP". Under that grey bar is the configurator for the 1520
