You won't get it. The XPS line is not a gaming line anymore, the GTX cards are only being put in the Alienwares, which is the gaming line now. The GT 650m will be your max option (or a GT 655m if there will be one). Furthermore the GTX cards usually have a different interface with the motherboard than the GT cards.

My bet would be little major differences from the current XPS systems. That said, the 15" seems to have undergone some changes, so there is a chance.

I'd expect you will still see the 2 HDD bays you have today.

Thinner/lighter is a maybe since Ivy Bridge is so much lower in TDP, but you still need to have room to cool things so don't expect miracles. There's a reason the MacBooks are overheating these days-too thin to properly cool things. I'd prefer a little more bulk and real cooling. I honestly don't have an issue with the current XPS 17 thickness, though sure a little thinner wouldn't be unwelcome. As long as it's sturdy.

Powerful processor choice? You mean like there already is? You can already get some insanely powerful CPUs for the XPS 15 and 17. I don't see that changing.

I guess the gt650 gddr5 version of the card will be good. Any release date of pictures?

Yup. 2 2.5" HDD bays, plus an optical bay.
