New XPS 14

[lazy bum]

gah, just ordered an XPS 13 from Dell Outlet this week (actually being delivered today), then I see this news. Now I have a difficult decision to make.

Anyone know if the XPS "hassle free" 21 day return window they're advertising on Dell's site applies to XPS's bought off the Outlet site? I know there's still a 21 day return period for those, but the hassle free ad assures there's no restocking fee.

As a long time XPS m1530 user I'd love another 15" XPS. I game a lot on mine, but still like the style and footprint of the m1530. I ordered a sager np9130 and returned it for a np9150 because I couldn't stand the keyboard. If I don't like the 9150 I am really considering this as an option. I know it's a step down in performance, but not by too much. The sager footprint is MUCH bigger then the m1530 but I could deal with it.

Also considering an MSI GE60, envy 15, Samsung 9 (gaming variant) but I'd love to stick with dell. You can't bet the zero 0% financing for the year to pay off the laptop can upgrade to higher options much easier this way and I got the 4 year xps service program for like 200 and it paid for its self 4-5 times.

I hope this new XPS comes out with HD 1080p matte screen, 640m or better GPU, fingerprint reader, upgradable to my SSD, atleast 8gb ram, doesn't have a number pad, and can actually stay cool. My m1530 would get damn hot there for a while.

I doubt the "fingerprint reader" bit. Latitude.

FHD 1920x1080 on XPS 15, but not on XPS 14. Option for HD+ 1600x900 most likely.

Last XPS had a reader that I still use. It's a great piece of tech and starting to become more and more in demand. Swapping your finger for any password secured website, windows login or what ever is nice to have.

For those of you feeling envious, be patient:

I got $5 that says you ship that Envy back. (I have 2 really good friends at HP who'd be a bit sorry to hear me say that, but I keeps it real.)

Dell Bill has already hinted that more and more companies have been doing bring your devices to work, and people are liking having enterprise features on their consumer laptops. That was in response to my question regarding TPM and fingerprint readers.

I saw that thread where bill mentioned that and that's what I'm hoping for with the finger print reader.

My guess would be 900P on the 14 and 1080P on the 15.

Some people have been getting a little testy about the wait. Just figured I'd repost that since Bill doesn't visit this thread. I just hope he's not a compulsive gambler. From everything I hear, the XPS sounds like it will be one of the best options on the market. I got my fingers crossed.
