The Canadian version (see below) is still better though, it has a better processor (T5250 vs T7100), LED Display, and more RAM. :(

Anyways, i spec'd out a US unit and the prices are not inexpensive, i was expecting much, much less monies than similarly equipped VIAO SZs.. but, they're not. There isnt even a Centrino line..

Right now the m1330 is looking pretty lackluster.]]>Jun 26th 2007 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/26/dells-xps-m1330-and-inspiron-laptops-now-on-line/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/26/dells-xps-m1330-and-inspiron-laptops-now-on-line/
Certainly not bad by any means, but it's not really amazingly cheaper to me than the other similarly spec'd laptops I was looking at; Asus G1S (which is $1999 without any sort of educational discount) and the base model MBP (which only has a knock against it compared to the Inspiron because of 128MB of VRAM instead of 256). Even factoring in paying for AppleCare, the MBP is only a couple hundred more (and this is factoring in all the Dell discounts and such), which is not as wide a gap as I was expecting.

I was just thinking that the Dell would be a lot cheaper than the Asus G1S or MBP.]]>Jun 26th 2007 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/26/dells-xps-m1330-and-inspiron-laptops-now-on-line/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/26/dells-xps-m1330-and-inspiron-laptops-now-on-line/Jun 26th 2007 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/26/dells-xps-m1330-and-inspiron-laptops-now-on-line/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/26/dells-xps-m1330-and-inspiron-laptops-now-on-line/Jun 26th 2007 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/26/dells-xps-m1330-and-inspiron-laptops-now-on-line/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/26/dells-xps-m1330-and-inspiron-laptops-now-on-line/On top of that, I don't think how your computer works is important in the least. Maybe it's just me, but my computer isn't a fashion statement, it's a workstation.
