New Dell xps 17(l721x)

I wonder if dell will consider thunder bolt ports on their future machines. As apple has become succesfull with it. I also actually have the pins for a TB port on my z77 motherboard.

i also hope in this upcoming model dell will keep the old design but suppress both of it below 3 kg and make it thinner. hehe

Apple hasn't been successful with it. Apple is the only major OEM that uses the port, there are only 5-7 devices capable of taking advantage of it, and no one else in the industry has adopted it -- not even at Intel's bequest. TB gets 1 GB of throughput, USB 3.0 gets 500 MB. Not a big enough difference for anyone to waste the crucial real estate on a laptop to accommodate the <1% willing or wanting to use TB. TB is another FireWire/Memory Stick/Betamax, etc.

Agreed, the only things that could/should make use of that sort of throughput would be video straming/cameras .... exactly the sort of thing that Firewire was also perfect for, yet failed to be adopted as the standard (which in my eyes at least was a shame)

Unless of course you could string a few external drives together through it, maybe a raid array

in dell ireland dell xps l521x specs are already announced although is removed again. but does xps l721x already revealed or not. hmm

Help Me Choose: Display | Dell. 14 and 15 are listed, but no 17, what's wrong with dell. hmmm

What he meant was, at the far right both the new XPS14 and XPS15 are listed with resolution, nits and Gorilla Glass bezel. The XPS17 however is nowhere to be seen, which makes you wonder if there is a 17" coming at all.
