Dell Inspiron 1435, 1535 and 1735 leaked

While not quite as exciting as March's week of Latitude scoops, we've got ourselves some infos on what look to be Dell's upcoming Inspiron 1435, 1535 and 1735 consumer laptops. Seems they'll all be sharing the same basic design language, pictured above, and will be privy to some rather expansive aesthetic customization options if you're into that type of thing. Specs are the typical Dell smorgasbord of options, but all three laptops start at around 1-inch thick and taper up to 1.5 inches thick. All three also sport slot-loading drives, with a Blu-ray option, and processors ramp up to Core 2 Duo T5850 2.16GHz chips. 3G options are also available across the lineup, and just about anything else you might find useful in a mid-range laptop. Apparently the 1435 isn't due until October, but the 1735 is coming on June 9 and the 1535 on the 26th of this month.

If the 14 inch consumer grade Inspiron is getting a slot loading Blu-Ray drive in October, that would have to imply that the premium line XPS M1330 will see a slot loading Blu-Ray drive come Centrino 2/Montevina aswell.

It defies logic for their consumer products to outspec. their premium ones, and yes, such functionality WOULD be useful. The M1330 might not output 1080p internally, but through the HDMI port it already possesses it could quite easilly output (portable player stylee) to your HDTV. The HDMI port at present on the M1330 seems a little redundant.

I'm looking forward to hearing furthur Dell developments in the coming weeks.

Just looked through the gallery: BACKLIT KEYBOARDS!!!

'Yay' would undermine the euphoria I'm feeling but since there isn't a word to properly describe my elation by all means come up with your own.

I will humbly submit that this is one Apple hardware nuance that has ALWAYS made aesthetic and functional sense. I pray that it reaches an XPS M1330 revision.

Oh good lord. Daddy want. My five-year-old Inspiron 5100 is still kicking (P4, 2.6GHz, 1GB RAM), but I know I'm going to need a new one eventually. These new Inspirons are just what I've been looking for.

Any video card specs?

[Jume79 Posted May 8th 2008 12:15PM]

Dell desperately needs an industrial designer(s). Looks like crap

ideapad knockoff.

Dang, those are so ugly...

[(Unverified) Posted May 8th 2008 1:44PM]

Looks very promising. I had my eye on the Asus M50SV but this may change that.

The deciding factor for me will be the speakers, its the weak link in the XPS, and any laptop pushing the 'multimedia experience' by including a blu-ray should at least sound decent

you must be completely Blind then?
Macs are ugly
this is awesome!

[(Unverified) Posted May 8th 2008 2:31PM]

Thank God! Their previous line before this one is HIDEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stand their Inspiron line right now. It looks like someone was on an acid trip and decided to bring back a retro look to the Inspiron. This new line is beautiful! Can't wait!

I get very confused in the Dewey Dell clasification system, why don't they just call it the Dellbook, they have the keyboard now!

[Datharo Posted May 8th 2008 3:02PM]

they definately look beautiful. I won't be completely impressed til I see a full specs list...I assume these will have integraded video cards? also, it's not unheard of if a company decides to release a new cpu/chipset before it's official release to the public..

Anyone know whats the pricing going to be?

1. I hope the headphone plugs are no longer on the front. That is terribly inconvenient for anybody that uses external speakers.

2. I hate the IBM style hinge - It wastes valuable port space on the back. I wish notebooks would go back to having plugs on the back instead of all down the sides. having cables running out the side is ugly and wastes desk space.

"While not quite as exciting as March's week of Latitude scoops"?!
this is much, much more exciting. i mean check that out! it's like a xps. a whole new look for Dell Inspiron. I'm getting one.

[(Unverified) Posted May 8th 2008 11:26PM]

These are a step in the right direction for Dell.

The only issue is: now that Dell has this sexy lineup for its Inspirons, what upgrades are coming to its XPS line?

[(Unverified) Posted May 28th 2008 9:36PM]

This new Inspiron may look nice,

However, Considering this is an inspiron not an XPS- I would say, their hardware offerings are gonna be very limited(ie.- discrete graphics, no led, and etc).

One last thing, I wish Dell would fix it's noise problems with the XPS.

Anyone happen to know when this will be coming out since the 1535 was said to be released on the 26th of may and it is now June 4th? Maybe the 1535 and 1735 will be released together?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 11th 2008 11:59AM]

SnowPunk98,
I'm thinking the same as you. I am interested in this new linup of inspirons and am anxious for Dell to show it to the public and available for buy. I know the 1535 was supposed to be out the 26th of May and the 1735 the 9th of June, i hope they wont delay its arrival for much longer i would like to explore this laptop!!! Hurry up DELL!!!
