No worries mate, good luck with it! Stu

Did you properly read what I wrote? You need SATA. PATA will not work. Stu

Yes. Any 2.5" SATA will work fine, regardless of brand. Note that PATA interface will not work. Stu

We don't know. No info has been released yet. There is a new Intel platform (Centrino 2) being released in the second half of this year, so if you don't need it immediately you can wait and see what comes out of that. Other than that,...

The battery is sturdy, no more or less fragile than the rest of the laptop. I'd be more worried about the screen breaking if you dropped the thing rather than the battery.... much more expensive item to replace. Not sure what you mean...

Probably, but remember it is just an estimation. If you are really wanting an update then best way is to just call and find out the status... Stu

Does not really matter for the average user. Go with what you can get cheap if you want to save money. If you want quality go with Crucial, Kingston or Corsair, all good brands. Stu

No, will not work. Different form factor. Stu

All you need is a SATA 2.5" hard drive. Brand, size, etc does not matter they should all work, inlcuding if you want one at 200GB (Note: IDE will not work, 3.5" desktop drives will not work). Stu

Your guess is as good as anyone else's at this point. There has been no indication as yet from Dell/ leaked from Dell about any new models soon. Stu
