    You missed a lot more than that apparently :). All over the news and in these forums May 9th is the release of the Santa Rosa notebook lines for all the major manufacturers, and with that DX10 video.

    I will say this again: Patience! We'll all know soon enough if the inspirons will get a makeover and what will be offered. Really all we can do is wait and see.

    *sigh* I suppose it was too much to hope that a Latitude will have a dedicated graphics option. :/

    I greatly doubt the new Latitudes will be limited to integrated graphics.

    Dual - Channel.. ?

    Quote from the D630 specs page from Hong Kong:

    PC Card:
    One Type I or Type II
    Supports 34mm ExpressCard via USB interface through PCMCIA adapter
    Express Card:
    One 54mm Express Card slot, supporting both 54mm and 34mm I/O

    Just curious. The NBR frontpage says PC-Card, and this says...?

    If they are, they are being coy about it. The specs didn't mention any kind of dedicated option.

    Edit: Oops, my bad. I was going off the HK specs posted last night that didn't mention the NVS 135M.

    You can now order them on the US site, the 830 and 630 that is but why the only option of graphics:
    Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 [Included in Price

    Guess they ditched the nvidia options

    How about Nvidia hasn't announced them yet?

    Give it a few days. They will be there.

    Dell is going for the fall on announcing new Inspiron and XPS models?! Am I possibly reading this right... is says Pro, which I believe is the business end, so I might be wrong on this:

    "Though Dell also took advantage of the day's high tide to trumpet three new Latitude models, strangely, they're not Centrino Pro or Duo models. In fact, the D531 is said to "expand consumer choice" by offering an AMD Turion 64 - which is guaranteed to fall outside the Intel specs. Dell says it plans to announce a Centrino Pro model D630c "in the fall."

    Note the end sentence. Found here:
