    I'm just waiting for Penryn to be an available option on the 1530 before placing my order, and the wait is getting pretty frustrating.

    Does anyone have any information as to when Penryn will be available for the 1530? :confused:

    I heard from Anandtech, or rather read on the site that Dell will start offering it in February. The CPUs are ready to go, Intel is making them already, I think just set a release date for beginning of Feb. Clock speeds will be the same however (up to 2.6ghz), but with 6mb cache now. Go to anandtech.com, the article is on the front page.

    I would not hold my breath. They don't even offer GigE on the 1530 yet which blows my mind. Ignorant.

    Dell is usually pretty quick with these kind of things, aren't they? Didn't they have Pentium M's and Core 2s within a week or so of Intel release?

    I feel the same way, but I doubt more time will improve the situation. Just be glad there's a liberal return policy.

    What type of quality problems are people having? I'm planning to get an M1530 soon (while their $500 discount is still available).

    The main problems I've seen are grainy screens, and problems waking from hibernation.
