Kinda shocked there isn't a thread on this already:

Sorta resembles a MBP, not that I'm complaining.

The oddly shaped keys are a bit of a turn off though.

One thing I'm absolutely fussy about when it comes to laptop design, is the screen bezels. Every single decent laptop I've set my eyes on has had someone making the unfortunate decision of including at least an inch of wasted space that serves no purpose other than being there just for the hell of it. In the case of this XPS 15z, they could well have shaved half that space at the bottom of the screen but now it's just damn ugly to look at what would've been a perfectly neat laptop...

Anyone know if the 1080P screen is the same one found in the XPS 15 L502X? I was just about to order one last night when I found out about the new Z. The other worry is I planned to remove the disc drive to store the HDD and put in an SSD. Doesnt seem like that will be doable with the Z.

Also, only dual cores are available on the Malysia site, think it will be the same here?

What a riced out keyboard!

Still like my Latitude 13 better.

The beast is live then. Have spent the previous 5min checking it out on the Malysian site. It's darn pretty I can say and the specs are awesome. Can't wait to read the first review or hands-on. The only potential drawback is the NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M 2GB graphics. Can anyone utter any words about it's gaming capabilities?
