    13.1 with intel gma950 and gf7600 and standard swappable cpu and video modules for effortless and within reason limitless upgradeability

    +1. Also a 14" XPS with a GF7600 or x1600 would be fantastic. Though I probably still wouldn't buy it...

    I agree with wishing for a lapper in between 12.1" and 14", although I think an entry into the 13.3 may be more appropriate.

    Latitude D620: DVI, card reader, S-Video out and the option for a faster midrange card. The first three should be present in all their notebooks.

    15.4" with 7900gs or 14.1" with 7600, with integrated bluetooth. With no freakin camera, or card reader or fingerprint scanner or any of that garbage, if i wanted it i'd get something USB.

    1. Longer-lasting paint.
    2. A numeric keypad on the DTRs.
    3. No more bloat.
    4. Use LCD's that minimize leakage.
    5. Put the **** Intel/XP stickers on straight.

    Real docking stations for the entire inspiron line, or better gaming cards (x1400 at least / x1600 if possible on the d820) as options for latitudes.

    I'll jump on the x1600 bandwagon. Either use better paint or go back to black plastic like on the older Inspirons. The palm rests on my 5000e still look new.

    Full (or at least bigger) sized keyboards for the 17" computers would be awesome.
