    I'm glad that Dell is going back to what used to work well with the Inspiron line, but it seems like they're jumping the shark on a few things...

    Why ATI, and no nVidia options? Why are there less USB ports than previous generations? What happened to the Chiclet-style keyboards we've seen in previous Inspiron R product shots? When is the Inspiron going to get Gigabit Ethernet -OR- Why even bother putting Ethernet on at all?
