Chances of the Dell E-series coming out before Sept?

I already know that I want either the E6400 in the Dell E-series or whatever Thinkpad that is comparable and that comes out at about the same time. However, I read that the Montineva chipset is delayed to July 14th. Does this mean that there is going to be a long delay for the Dell E-series? I really want to get it before school starts and my current dell M140 suffers from the "vertical lines" problem. I don't know how much longer my computer screen can wait before it's unviewable. Also, my budget is $1500 or less. Do you think I can afford these new models?

 

anyone has good picture/view of the new latitude E? the first latitude picture teasure was very good.. (thin, titanium finish). then next picture coming out latitude E looks bulkly and old.

 

I hope it comes out soon, I want to purchase a laptop by mid-august before school. I am going to guess that Dell is going to release them before September because alot of people buy laptops in August. I don't think it would be a good business strategy to release them after September.

 

I don't think Dell has a choice. Intel has delayed Montevina until July/August. The absolute earliest you will get a Montevina laptop would be August/September.
