    Hi Everyone

    I've been sitting on this for a few days but didn't want to post it straight away just in case they were numerous typo's that needed to be corrected... but no.

    Basically a hint a new Inspiron (a good guess is the 13), and a new XPS model!

    See for yourself:

    Dell Small Business Centre - Laptops:
    Vostro Laptops ( 10)
    Latitude Laptops (7)
    XPS Laptops ( 4)
    Precision Notebooks (2)

    Click on the links and you'll find the usual 6 Vostro's and not 10, and the usual 3 XPS models and not 4.

    And at the Dell Home - Laptops page:

    Inspiron Laptops ( 2)
    Studio Laptops (2)
    XPS Laptops (3)
    Laptops Accessories (4)

    Click on the Inspiron link and only the 1525 is there...

    Anyone else notice this?

    Nice find. You should include a link in your post though:

    I hate to be a party-pooper, especially since I'm waiting on new XPSes myself, but the missing 4th XPS in that line-up is the now discontinued XPS M2010. When you click the XPS link, the screen sizes listed under "Narrow Your Selection" say that there are two laptops in the 17-20.1" range, i.e., M1730 and M2010. Same with the weights. But if you actually click these links, two M1730s show up! :p

    Ah... I had a small small feeling it was that, but wasn't exactly sure. It all makes sense now. :)

    Yeah, seriously, all I want is for them to put in Centrino 2, new graphics card options, and faster RAM. I'm fine with the current design and other config options.
