Dell has announced, oddly prior to CES, their reconfigured Inspiron 15 line of standard lappies. They now feature 15.6″ displays with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 1366×768 native resolution, 4GBs of RAM, a 320GB drive, optional Blu-Ray optical drives, and the other standard amenities. The i15 is now sporting Intel’s T6400 Core 2 Duo CPUs running at 2.0GHz and Intel’s GMA 4500MHD video chipset. Pricing for the base model starts at a very modest US$600 and presumably goes up from there when they start selling them from the Dell site. Until then you’ll have to do with Best Buy.
