Dell Inspiron 9200 around the corner, best be something special

We've been hearing a lot of buzz about the new Dell (Inspiron, supposedly) 9200, their new 17-incher in the works,
but you'll have to forgive our lack of enthusiasm. Perhaps its because there's a reason why they've never really gotten pre-release laptop hype, but they're apparently being very vocal about the fact that they know the only way this thing's going to make a splash is by directly competing with the 15-inch laptop price range. We're not saying it's going to be the same price, but they more than likely intend to step the cost down a few notches from the extra few k that 17-inch machines tack on. Also, we heard from a little birdie in the window that it is apparently actually very light for its size class, and that it supposedly has unit's body has a "white trim" wraparound. This could be a pretty bizarre step for Dell and their oft inelegant laptop-design department, but if our tipster is right we'll all find out on November 18th when we're told it's set for launch.
