Dell is offering an Inspiron 1420 running the T9500 Penryn

I was doing a google search to discover whether or not the new Penryns were able to run on my Inspiron 1420 with the latest BIOS and came across this: http://dellstorecn02.sg.dell.com/public/cart/configurator.jsp?prd_id=120837&sr_no=1 It clearly allows you to configure the 1420 with either a T7250 or the new Penryn chips. This should mean that the new Penryns will run on my 1420 correct?

 

Link not working, good chance yes it will work.

 

hmmm, the link works fine for me but anyways the Dell China Store is what I was looking at. Any ideas why China gets this offer before north america?

 

Hard to speculate when the support isn't even official.

 

what do you mean "when the support isn't even official"?

 

Clear your cookies and then try, it won't work. I would like to see so if you could fix much appreciation!


Edit: I was able to navigate and found (my Chinese is not good, I don't speak or read) and yes it seems strange for them to get. On the Dell US site talks about computer can not be for export and all. If you know Chinese money, how many US dollars is it. That could explain a lot.

 

I'm not the greatest at forum postings, sorry about that but yeah on the Dell China site these systems are very clearly listed (official site). I don't speak or read chinsee either but it's fairly similar to the dell.ca website as far as where things are etc. and I was able to find this. I took the base model (T7250) price and converted it to USD:
6,998.94 CNY = 974.376 USD

 

I don't know where that link took me to, but I did see a purple notebook.
