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

This machine looks very slick I like it! I'm not into 16 inchers, they don't fit in my bag, and both resolutions seem poor to me. 1440 x 900 is the best resolution of all time.

Is it just me who cannot spot a fingerprint reader?

You don't understand. No company revised their laptop that was using the 8600M to use the 9600M in a matter of weeks. It took Apple almost a year even. A motherboard change wouldn't be so simple.

Apple is not an example. They release their notebook once a year for marketing reason. I think you didn't understand what I said. This motherboard could be ready for the new video card. In this case no upgrade should be necessary.

This is confusing...2 threads on the same topic!

Great news, though!

They should close and delete the other one

Sweetness! The 1340 is a great price & the 1640 base as well.

Oddly though, many ppl don't want the screen size that the 1640 offers (16"); and would LOVE to have the 1640's video card in the 1340. Also notice that the nVidia 9400M in the 1340 reduces the price by $100US. While the 9500M GS card is included in the list price!! Not bad at all for dedicated 256MB video memory.

The styling of these makes the MacBook/Pro models look old now . I just hope that Windows7 will be a loadable & supported option this summer when I have the cash to purchase these. For now I'll get the HP DV2 just announced; handing it down to my daughter when I upgrade to the Dell.

Is there an eSATA & HDMI port on these badboys?!

Looks like those of us NORTH of the USA Border don't get to play!

and also is not to expensive!!!..

I only upgrade the processor to T9400 and I get everything cheaper than I pay my M1530 configuration with coupon 4 months ago!!

I asked the wife to buy again and i she didn't like the idea at all...

this means that our M1530 is now obsolete ?? ......(please don't answer)

well, seems like its more expensive for the 13" laptop vs my current m1330.... though no discounts on the new laptop yet...

Actually, no they should keep the other one open..it was started earlier then this.
They can merge this one into the other...or as suggested ~ close the thread (and link it to the new one).

And then open 2 separate threads, one for the 1340, and one for the 1640. As, the thread is just going to get larger.

Just my thoughts....

4 gigs DDR3, Nvidia 9500- worth it
