Hybrid Hard Drives for Inspiron Notebooks.

Offer Hybrid Hard Drives for Inspiron Notebooks. They are currently offered for 3 Latitude models (D630, D830 and D531). Why not offer them on Inspiron notebooks?

10/21/07		 If they can offer it in Latitude models, then they can offer them on other models. I chatted with a sales representative about special ordering an Inspiron 1720 with a hybrd drive and they said it was not possible. WHY?
