Dell XPS M1210 Shows up in Japan and Europe (pics)

The Dell XPS M1210 has shown up on websites in Japan and Europe now.  It's a 12.1" screen ultraportable with rotating built-in camera, up to 2.0GHz Core Duo processor, 4 USB ports, FireWire, nVidia 7400 graphics and some really hot looks.  Could it be that Dell has something hotter than the MacBook?

Even though it's obviously not in English, you can roughly tell that the high end configuration listed is:

• Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz (in Japan it appears a 2.0GHz T2500 option is available)
• nVidia GeForce 7400 Graphics card with 256MB RAM
• 12.1" WXGA screen
• 1GB RAM
• 100GB hard drive (in Japan it appears a 7200RPM option is available for better performance)
• Rotating built-in web cam
• 4 USB 2.0 ports
• FireWire
• Two headphone jacks
• Windows XP Home (in Japan XP Pro is available)
• DVD burner
• Currency conversion estimates price to be $1,800 in Norway

Many ultraportable fans will rejoice at the option of having a decent dedicated graphics card.  The rest of the specs are really nice too of course.  The built-in rotating web cam and great portability will make this a popular option for buyers such as students that want to record lectures maybe and do some gaming as well.  Below are some pictures from the Dell Japan website of this notebook:
