Fans of Dell’s M1210 (the fighting twelve incher) will be interested in this update to their gaming/business notebook. Our tipster tells us that Dell will put in the old Santa Rosa-style upgrade that we’ve been seeing all over the place lately, which gives the little guy a bit of a boost in performance to keep it up to date with other laptop lines.
In other non CPU news, the M1210 update will have a 8400M DX10 graphics card, LED backlighting, slot-loading DVD drive, and be 4 pounds and smaller/thinner than the previous M1210. The tipster got his or her hands on it recently and says it’s great, but going to be very pricey.
Thanks tipster!

Monday, May 28, 2007 at 8:58 AMWith all the rave reviews that the 1210 has had in the past, this is really going to be the icing on the cake. It’d be good to see the Santa Rosa upgrade across the whole XPS range, but at least this is a good start.
Hopefully the price won’t go up too much, or you rally lose the “bang for buck” that the 1210 is known for.
