i am drooling over this notebook. fantastic price for a 11" full fledge duo core cpu as my working laptop. Thinking of buying a 21" HDMI LCD for my work with this lappie. the portability is awesome and the ULV Core duo is awesome!

why would people think SU4100 is weak? Its just mind boggling. and those even trying to compare it with Atom and NEO is even beyond understanding. The SU4100 is so much more powerful then my bloody sempron 64 desktop at home which i think it bloody fast still.

But what are you comparing it with. You have to see the whole product packaging. Sure you can buy the alienware laptop that will blow most desktop, but what is the point of lugging around something so rediculously big? Even the 14" laptops are being pushed to its limits currently, and CULV have really came and change the packaging of laptops, for example as seen on the acer timeline series.

How can you say discounting outdated stuff or three third (??? 2/3 or 3/4) of the way there. Just a year and half, you need to pay six grand to get a ULV based laptop. Todays, its half that price. That in it self is progress.

What then do you expect them to put into a 11.6" laptop that is 1 inch thick? A P8700 cpu with HD4670 gfx? you have to be realistic. And realisticly, it is packaged for mobility, with processing power way sufficient for basic computing work to photoshop to HD content, yet providing a low power consumption product.

yes..i have to say dell provides the most pitiful batteries.

how come info on dimension show dell 13z is somewhat thicker then 14z, but width and length the same?

Dell now has a SU7300 and SU9400 paired with either integrated or discrete gfx. Not before. However, the interesting part is that its got 2 DIMM slots now instead of previous single slot?...intersting....

oh no...you got the celery one?. should have gone for the SU4100. big performance difference tho. however both your configuration and the SU4100 is not suitable for virtualisation.

In those days when celeron first came about most people called them celery. My wife on the other hand like eating them with dips...
