Newer 1530's

Hey, I am considering getting a 1530 and was just wondering if there was anyone that knows of or could write a small review for the newer 1530s with the Penryns and newer screens. All the 1530 reviews that are out there are of the beginning systems that had the lower options, no newer colors, penryns, led screens, hi def screens, etc. Thanks for any help.

 

Well Dell just had a deal where we were able to get:

With that said stay tuned to Dell's Deals. They are moving out the Penryn to make room for the new batch it seems that have a compltley new mobo platform. If you have more questions then PM and hopefully I can help you.

 

That really does not answer my question. I know the price and the deals that are out there, and pretty much all the parts that it can be configed with. I just would like a review with the newer parts and so on. The original reviews seemed to be with pre production models and didnt seem to show the real laptop, and then you add in all the new cpus(speed), new screens, and others. Please, if anyone could write a new review or has a new review, that would be great.

 

This is one of the newest reviews I could find... 2/14/08
