New Dell XPS L521X (Ivy Bridge)

Will we be seeing much of a price difference from the currents XPS line?

hey bill, I like how you talked about the envy cause I am also considering envy vs the xps. Can you tell us anything about the gpu comparision vs the envy? I understand the xps line is going to be thin, but is it going to be lightweight compared to envy? I think the decision is going to come down b/w if i want the greater gpu vs thinner(maybe ligher) comp. thanks again

Final pricing not set, but it will be similar to the current XPSs' launch prices, more than the current prices, I'm sure.

I will have to look up our GPU's to give you a sort of an idea. I can't really spell it out, but I can vaguely make some sort of comparative statement. I would imagine our 14 will be lighter than their 14, and the 15 will be close. I'd guess we'll be technically a bit lighter since we've had time to see theirs. Just a guess. Nothing I've read anywhere.

Bill am I going crazy or did you say in an earlier post for us to look for an 'exciting' announcement today? All I could see was some info on you putting Ivy into desktops but that aint that exciting :P

Dell-Bill has already said that the XPS laptop lineup isn't coming until sometime in June hopefully. At least I don't have to keep watching this thread everyday to see if things are changing.

Huh, I am seeing ivy bridge in an Inspiron 15R... also with a full hd screen... on dell.co.nz. Kind of interesting and worth my first post? (ok a little off thread topic) Is this common knowledge and I have missed it?

I assume there are no reviews around of this little unit just yet. Hmmm.

I'm guessing that because the IB XPS isn't out yet, it is temporarily taking its place to cover a wider market

I wonder if this was the dv6/7 competitor that bill was talking about. They are definitely in the same segment. Looks like it is up on most dell sites now.

also just noticed to new inspirons have 32gb msata ssd to hold the operating system which is a really nice upgrade. Really looking forward to june now
