    I'm in the market for a new Dell notebook, but would hate to buy one only to have a new model released a few months later.

    Dell's notebook line is starting to look outdated. Is there any word on when they might release new models in the home sector?

    Some of the notebook makers are already announcing their Santa Rosa lines, but I have yet to find any info at all on the upcoming Dells (e1505/6400 replacement). This particular model is the one I've been holding off on, mostly because of the speculated new design and DX10. Think there's any possibility we'll see these before July? I have noticed that on Dell's website lately there are fewer options available for the processor and for the past week at least there's been no T7200 option at all (2.0Ghz, 4MB cache).
