13.3", LED Backlit, Santa Rosa Laptop... from Dell
Engadget reveals some early marketing material for a new Dell notebook which carries a familiar and appealing set of specs:
- 13.3-inch screen, configurable with LED backlight
- Core 2 Duo processor (up to 2.4GHz)
- Santa Rosa chipset (965PM/GM)
- Slot-loading dual-layer DVDRW drive!
- Optional NVIDIA GeForce Go 8400M GS / 128MB
- Ethernet, 802.11a, a/g, or n options, Bluetooth option
- Dimensions with LED 12.5 x 9.4 x 0.87 - 1.33-inches (318 x 238 x 22.1 - 33.8mm)
- Weight starts at 4 pounds
Pricing and availability are not given. This new Dell "ultraportable" carries an internal design that many have been hoping for from a new Apple MacBook Pro. Indeed, there have been rumors that Apple would be incorporating the Santa Rosa chipset and LED backlit displays into their own "ultraportable" design.
Apple is expected to release new MacBook Pros in the morning (Tues, June 5th), but whether or not they will represent more than just a minor bump remains unknown.

It would be the pretty close to the perfect laptop hardware wise if it were a mac. The dell case isn't so great imo, but if apple could get that hardware in a macbook, it'd be awesome.
-Compact design
-LED Lit Screen
-32GB SSD HD
-C2D W/ Santa Rosa
-8400M GPU
-HDMI
-WWAN
-2MP Webcam Edit: I see it's only VGA with the LED screen
-4Lbs.
Come on apple, release a macbook thin/mini with the above specs. :D

I do have to admit that it's probably the best looking notebook Dell has made in a long time. Huh. Wonder if it will be anything like that when it comes to market.

Why arent the macbooks like this?
Apple decided to push older hardware with minor bumps. More money for them reusing MacBook Pro components if it goes to Santa Rosa.

To be fair, the one thing missing from those specs was the price.
