We heard about the Inspiron M501R notebook hitting Dell's website yesterday and now we know the unknowns. The CPU inside of this notebook is the AMD Phenom II X4 CPU clocked at 2.3GHz and it still hasn't been officially announced. Other specs include a 15.6-inch 720p display, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 550V GPU (also unannounced), up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, WiFi support, and Windows 7. The launch date is still unknown and so is the price tag so we'll have to wait around for both of those details. In the meantime, check out the updated page on Dell's website here.

Dell has just unveiled a couple of new notebooks, as a part of their Inspiron line-up: 13R, 14R, 15R, 17R, and M501R. All of these notebooks are more customizable than their non-R models. They all pack Core i3 / i5 CPU options while the M501R has an AMD Phenom II X4 2.3GHz CPU.  This AMD CPU is new and actually hasn't even been officially announced. The GPUs in all of these notebooks are either integrated Intel or discrete from ATI. Apparently, these notebooks all have Dell's own Dock so they're perfect for "moms and youths." There also appears to be more options in the wireless, OS, and RAM categories. Check it out on Dell's website here.
