If so I'll make it my 3rd inspiron. I hope they offer a intel 5100 upgrade option and a Ubuntu option. If so I'll make it my 3rd inspiron.

Though costly, it completely hides 6 cell battery inside its body. Though 11z looks a lot more trendy. Lets wait for full reviews.

And "Ctrl" is left "Fn" right, which is a plus too. The 11z has an interesting keyboard layout with big arrow keys and an added row for page up and down to the right.
