I was thinking this would be rather appealing if it had the same internals and battery as the 15Z in a smaller, maybe slightly cheaper package, but the 520M graphics chip has about half the cores as the 525M in the 15Z. I wonder if the processors and battery capacity are different as well. Also I hope the screen can be upped to at least 1440x900, I for one love the 1080p screen in my current 15' dell and lower res screens are just a bother now.
At least give us an upgraded GPU option and the 1600x900 display of the M14x, and then we're talking. I don't mind a base model that has lower specs, but if there's no LCD upgrade I will be severely disappointed. Anyway, we're on the review request list, so we should get one soon enough....

The 520M is so close to the Intel HD3000 in performance I wonder why they bothered putting it in at all.http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards...
That 525 in there would have been nice.

If it had Dells RGBB IPS 1080p display in it, I'd buy it for $1K. Same price as Macbook? Ehhh...
