    i got a Dell catalog in November, it said that the Dell i5160 was NEW. Then in the beginning of February I checked the site and it didn't have the i5160, but had the New i6000. What happened to the 5160? Was it a flop since it wasn't being sold for very long?

    The i6000 is replacing the i5160. It did say it was new in November because the i5160 was replacing the i5150, but I guess it didn't last long. I think its just like how the i9200 replaced the 9100 but is soon to be replaced by the i9300.

    oh ok, it just made me kinda mad because the 5160 seemed to be the notebook that was in my price range that had what I wanted. Oh well, maybe I will find another one that's good. most likely it will be the i6000 with dedicated grphics.
