Inspiron 1525 hits Dell's Australian site with pricing

The Inspiron 1525 was supposed to hit sometime in "mid-December," and although that didn't happen, it looks like it still managed to squeak into the oh-oh-seven -- Dell's Australian site just put up a bunch of pages detailing the new machine. The 15.4-inch machine doesn't come packing a ton of surprises -- 2GHz T7250 Core 2 Duo, X3100 integrated graphics, 2GB of RAM, 160GB or storage, and WiFi -- but it's at least kinda cheap, at AU$1399 ($1228). The site lists an Australian ship date of January 9th, so we'd imagine we'll be seeing these hit the States relatively soon. Just don't tell anyone who scored a 1520 for Christmas, dig?

I submitted this already to engadget, but it doesnt seem like their editors care much for my articles.

Anyways, the 1525 has been spotted at staples already (pics included in the link).

What is the difference between this and the 1520?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 27th 2007 9:47PM]

Main difference is size. 1525 is slimmer than the 1520 and as more design cues from the 1420. Will also have HDMI, and new color patterns for the most part.

My Dell isn't here yet, but sometime in 2008, it will be-- and that fills me with hope.

See, what you need to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind of person who sees signs and miracles?

I am. I say this is it. The Year of the Linux Desktop/Laptop/Tablet is upon us.
Here's to an exciting 2008. I know it will be for me.

Absolutely!

..wait, gargoyles? What?

[aznofazns Posted Dec 28th 2007 2:00AM]

that is by no means cheap. i could easily configure an xps m1530 that's loads more powerful for the same price (after coupons)

Pretty!

The Macbook Pro still rocks though.

[webran61 Posted Dec 28th 2007 4:42AM]

The HP Pavilion still rocks too.
