The new 15" Inspiron also comes standard with:
* 8-in-1 memory card reader
* 4 USB 2.0 ports
* 54mm ExpressCard slot
* S-Video (S/PDIF supports via dongle)
* 7.1 channel stereo sound * Graphics card with 64 MB frame buffer
* Headphone jack
* IEEE 1394 input for fast video and image transfers from your camera
I imagine it means that surround sound can be outputted to a decoder by using the s/pdif output with the adapter (dongle) that you have to buy separately. If that is indeed what Dell means by "7.1 channel stereo sound" then they should just say it. In that case, one would connect the speakers to the decoder.
