New Dell XPS L521X (Ivy Bridge)

[PaKii94]

i need it for college so i cant wait that long but i can wait miserably at home

And if you wait that long, you might as well wait for it to come loaded with Windows 8. :]

Windows 8 = No Thanks. Tried the Consumer Preview and I hated it. Its great for tablets but horrible for desktops/laptops with a keyboard and mouse. Windows 8 should be released sometime in October but I really hope it gets delayed until December. I will be sure to buy a Dell XPS laptop before Windows 8 comes preinstalled.

Hey Bill_B,
It is good see a Dell representative as a forum member! Thank you for your co-operation!

Inspiron SE would have been an overwhelming laptop if higher processors( i7 3610QM,i7 3615QM, i7 3720QM) and slightly better GPUs ( HD 7750m,HD 7770m or Nvidia GT 650m) were included( inspiron SE is a full size laptop not a slimmer one) as customization options. It is fine but DV6 is still better with its better configuration options(upto i7 3820QM and GT 650m!).

And stop promoting only Alienware laptops for gaming(GT 650m is only available in m14x!!).

surely those higher options will be saved for the XPS(z) lines so they can charge a premium for them otherwise there would be no point even having different models

Any word if Dell might add Thunderbolt soon?

[Dr.Ndre]

Dell could add thunderbolt. I hope it will be implemented.

Why isn't Dell hurrying! My current laptop is dying!

I expected Dell to introduce the new XPS15 shortly after the introductiong of the new Inspirong 15, but no

Read the last 10 pages and you'll have the answer

Would love to see the new AMD 77xx/78xxM GPUs on the new XPS.

Dell-Bill_B, I've been looking at an XPS 17 for months now and I'm about to the point where I really need to go ahead and order one. I've already got it saved in my cart and ready to go.

Are you able to give any more information as to when in May we can expect mroe announcements ont he updates to the XPS line so I'd know how long I'd have to wait for more information?

Or knowing this, that I don't care about small form factor /weight, do you think I'd be happier waiting for the new xps17 as opposed to the current one?

Thanks for telling me what you can. I'd hate to wait it out if the main design changes were to make it sleaker/sexier which I don't care about at all, but then on the other hand I'd hate to not wait if there is something more ground breaking in the new design that I might prefer.
