    I thought the rumor was that we were gonna get the Inspiron line in all black under the name Vortoso? Has there been any updates since the arrival of the new inspirons? A search of the forms and google yeilded nothing. . .

    I got a thing in the mail from Dell Small Business, saying that there were going to be major changes on July 10th. I'd bank on it being Vostro; I don't know what else they have to update on their business sites.

    I heard they are gonna be all black but the same on the inside, if thats the case I'd rather have a Vortoso than the silver Inspirons, black looks cooler in my book.

    Will this new laptop have the same graphics power as the 1520?

    Supposedly all the specs will be identical (my source for that is YoJr in the Upcoming: 1520 and 1720 thread - it's somewhere between pages 30 and 50 if I remember correctly).

    So the only difference is one is all black and the other is... not?

    Dell has had different inspirons available for the business section of their site, same basics but they offer different stuff with them, i think they are just renaming this line as to make a distinction between the business and home+home office sections. And to offfer a new cool color option, all black :)
