wheeee!

still waiting for news on the new latitude e4200 too

[alsenior]

I wonder if it will be able to take standard 1.8" hard drives. if it does it will be a modders dream, 3 mini-pcie slots wonderful

[Subnet1]

Well Hexus were correct. It's on the Dell website available to order right now.

I'm glad I didn't wait for this one over my acer. It's nearly £100 more expensive and doesn't have a proper hdd but and small ssd.

I've that changes I might reconsider the dell. Until then my acer is the better choice for just £220 its a steal.

XP-only? how enormously disappointing :/

I was waiting for this so now I am looking at the 120gb acer one or the new asus 1000H with the 6 cell battery and 80gb HD. Dell got it wrong on this one, £300 for that, its no better than the 901

hm, indeed not

still, the price-for-spec is a massive turn-off compared to acer

dell fumbled this one.

I agree. The Acer is a no brainer compared to this dell.
