    I was doing a little research to answer a question for a fellow NBR user from the UK and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the Studio 15 models with the 2.0GHz Pentium Dual Core T3200, 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo T5800....and last, but definitely not least, the 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo P8400- a Montevina/Centrino 2 processor!!! Link below-

    http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop_studio_15?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn

    Only the most expensive of the four pre-configured Studio 15 models is available with the P8400, or so it appears. The others still show the T8300, T9300, etc.

    Also of interest, the Inspiron 1525 on the UK site has a Celeron Dual Core as it's base processor. Cool stuff.....

    On the DELL US site, the only changes I see are on the Inspiron 1525- the T2390 has been replaced with the new T3200 and the T5750 has been replaced with the new T5800....new Intel processors at least, let's hope this means the full update to the Montevina/Centrino 2 platform is occurring as we speak...er, type!!! :D :D :D

    It's about time... Dell has really been slacking off lately.
