The only problem is, when you spec it to anything half assed, it gets quite pricey.
The C2D P9700 is 2.80GHz with 6MB cache and with a TDP of 28W. It retails for about $400. Surely the M11x could handle a 28W CPU?
The highest performance 25W i7 is the I7-640LM at 2.13GHz and 4MB cache. It also retails for $400.
So, tell me, were the i(3/5/7) line really that much of an improvement over the C2D in the mobile sector?
Dell, you already had a great line of CPUs waiting, whyh didn't you take the chance before? Marketing BS?
And why the crappy 1366x768 screen? Be innovative, put 1920x1080 on a 13", high resolutions are already available on 15" laptops.
And why the glossy? Bad Dell, bad.
