Alienware laptop case redesign?

[scook9]

The xps line never died. Its image just changed. It went from top of the line gaming to better than the inspirons but cheaper and weaker than alienwares.

And they will not segregate them by video card like that is it is too limiting since the 2 lines are far from comparable

The source of the leak claims it's the return of the XPS....thus all the crossed out mentioning of "Studio".

[NEWS] Studio XPS 15 and XPS 17 !!

That is just a jazzed up inspiron pretty much....not an AW competitor

I get the impression the 3Gigs VRAM listed in those specs are supposed to suggest dual GTX 460M or 470M with 1.5Gigs VRAM each.

Yes, I know it's not really 3Gigs total but this is Dell we're talking about.

really? Because the impression I got was that it was just totally fake.

Needs more lights and an Alienhead?

Maybe...but probably not totally fake. There's been hints and supporting info for a couple of months now (from on the the internets and from Dell reps on NBR) that Dell would be doing something with the XPS line.

No, I need better hardware and cooling and overclocking

creating competition within your own company is a no-no, and this isn't just competition either, it's a curb stomp to the entire Alienware line-up.

Dell had great cooling and an unlocked BIOS overclocking on the XPS 17...maybe even before Alienware did. At least I know the XPS 17 had it while the M17 didn't (without the Whitebook BIOS). Not sure about earlier models?

Makes you wonder what Dell has planned for Alienware don't it?

When you say xps 17 do mean mean the XPS M1710 and M1730? And as for plans with Alienware, they did not buy it for the engineers....they bought it for the name, they will keep it alive.

I read through the whole thread on the website Phinagle posted, I sounded like fake, but a user from Dell_France have posted several times, confirming the rumors..
The specs are quite monstrous, I'm curious.
