Dell Studio XPS 1340/1640 now available for purchase on Dell's site !!!

I was all set to buy a Studio 15 when I found this forum and thread. After reading the whole thing, it sounds like the XPS Studio 16 has everything I'm looking for (maybe too much!) but I have one possibly dumb question (remember, I'm a newbie )
Will the 16" be 16:9 aspect ratio? I will be using my new lapper almost exclusively to surf the net and watch blu ray movies so 16:9 and 1080p are a must. Thanx in advance.

[McBrainless]

So far the scattered leaked information has hinted towards a 16:9 aspect ratio.
And also that so far 16.4" laptops have been with a 16:9 screen. (Sony Vaio FW, Acer 6930/6935 series, can't remeber any more...)

[Asdamine]

Yeah the whole point of the 16" form factor in the first place was because of the 16:9 acpect ratio. It would be pointless and very stupid for the Studio XPS 16 to not come in 16:9.

I need a solid release date without it I am left hanging should I seriously wait?

If you can wait until CES January 8-11 we should know a lot more by then if it isn't released by then. Expect a release next month.

Do you think I should wait for it, my biggest buying point is the GPU do you think I will be disapointed? If the ATi 4670 comes out on it with GDDR4 I will be happy, if the 4870 comes out I am going to go crazy.

gddr4 on a studio xps now way, maybe an xps or gaming.

But I have confirmed the system RAM is DDR3, the GPU ram will probably be GDDR3 as well

[atbnet]

It's up to you. Can you wait? Do you need a notebook within the next month? When they do come out you should anticipate that it may take up to an additional month before you get it after you order.

Well If i can get the studio xps 16 by april... I'll be happy.
