Dell is slowly phasing AMD into all of its product lines. They have now introduced a new line of laptops that feature a range of AMD mobile processors, yet another step to incorporating AMD and Intel into all of their available computers. But while the price point of the Inspiron 1501 was expected to be below $500, the lowest configuration will actually cost you $549.
The Inspiron 1501 is available with a number of AMD Sempron, Turion 64, and Turion 64 X2 processors, ranging from the Sempron 3500+ to a Turion 64 X2 TL-56. You can have up to 2GB of DDR2 system memory and up to 80GB of disk space. Onboard video is provided by ATI's Radeon Xpress 1150 IGP (with 256MB of Hypermemory). A multi-format DVD burner is available as an option.
The $549 laptop I mentioned above is configured with a Sempron 3500+, 512MB memory, 60GB hard drive, and a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, with a 1-year warranty.
