Slightly off topic ...

If I understand Dell's codenames for their new line of notebooks correctly:

I9400 = E1705 [17" LCD screen]
I6400 = E1505 [15" LCD screen]

Just out of curiosity, any ideas what the "05" allude to at the end?

Inspiron 9400 are from Dell's Small Business store; and Inspiron E1705 are from Dell's Home & Home Office store. Same laptop. Also another note, the two stores compete with each other so be sure to try from the best price from both.

05 = 5th Generation.

Although they may not have made a name change in all cases, the generations are similar to 9000,9100,9200,9300,9400. That's 5. Dell thinks this will be easier for consumers to understand (which I think is just more things to confuse their employees with actually).

You are correct about the 17/15 being screen size. And the E stands for Entertainment. Along with B standing for Basic, and M being Multimedia (which I don't know why they chose that since the E-series are just as multimedia capable).

The naming scheme is for Dell Home sites, and applies to all new desktop and laptop introductions from 2005/01 and on. The XPS brand is still under a different naming scheme and will remain neutral as their TopShelf will have the same naming across all sites.
