Im looking carefully at ebay for a new dell laptop.

The only thing i have noticed is that the processors dont have the same spec as the Dell website.

I want the XPS M1210

on Dell: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7200 (2.00 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz FSB)

on Ebay: Intel ® Core™ Duo Processor T2500 (2.00 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz FSB)

So are they flogging systems that no longer come up to todays spec?

The Core 2 Duo processors were only released to the world last week. It should not be a surprise that many of the supplies on eBay are still older stock (but maybe only a week older) than the stuff you would get today directly from Dell. I'm sure if you wait a week or two the new Core 2 Duo processors will start filtering through to the eBay supply chain. I just wish I knew where the eBay guys are getting their stock at those prices.
