    Do you think Dell will refresh their Vostro line in August (like last yr I think if not when?) this time with 16:9 aspect ratio LED screens & HDMI?

    HP has done this with their ProBook line but there appears to be upgrade-no vent bottom potential heat issues with their design..

    Thanks for any insights-constructive replies,

    They were refeshed with the 1320,1520 and 1720 not that long ago. I wouldn't bank on another so soon.

    Any predictions when then?

    How much longer are 16:10 screens going to be available? (I thought suppliers have all switched to 16:9)

    If Vostro had HDMI I'd also be much more interested..

    Seeing as the 1x10 and 1x20 lines were released about a year apart, I'd say it's going to be roughly another half a year before we see a 1x30 line. For that matter, there's most likely going to be a Latitude refresh before a Vostro refresh. I don't think Dell current business notebooks with a 16:9 screen, or any with HDMI now that the Latitude has gone with Display Port...
