    That XPS was a cool concept but the video card in it was nothing to write home about.

    From what I have heard from a reliable person it will be avaliable to order this month ... Ie 2 weeks

    also have heard there has been hints of i7 but Dell is playing this one so hard to the chest that no one will say


    I'm guessing they are now due to the amount of secrecy on this notebook .... It's staggering

    It would be suicide, IMO, if it was released with no i7.

    This close to launch would be pure stupidity. Not saying that won't happen, just saying that I probably won't be buying :)

    Has anyone seen the homepage for Google today??? I bet Alienware did have something to do with that. First they launch this stuff today with the video and Allpowerful.com again... it's too much of a coincidence

    yeah. me also. but since the xps line is dropped. and now alienware is with dell. why not.

    as for the i7 mobile. there chance is there but it's low. the m17x just came out. unless they are trying to compete with sager and the way they operate. of course alienware would lose costumers if they went that route. for me though even though it would be cool to get it. i'm not that patient and i want the m17x cause there's some records i have to break.



    and i am keeping this notebook for 2-3 years. :)

    ^

    If the refresh was going to be montevina based, they would have released it with the M17x.
    (Instead of waiting for the mobile i7 release)

    that is what i am thinking. i don't like to think of what it could be and i'm completely wrong though. i hate that. :(


    what are the chances one of the pictures is just to present the m17x again. just like "hey all. i'm m17x don't forget about me. i have been around for some time and i didn't want to mess out on anything." or something like that.

    i'm sticking to
    m15x
    netbook
    desktop with i5/ new i7(1156 socket)

    now war put into my head a mini desktop...... so much options....

    Well, the M17x will still be gaming-king because of SLI :)

    The refresh will most likely be targeted at gaming and multimedia.

    So i7 + a good single gpu wouldn't take away from the Allpowerful tag of the M17x....

    i think it would big time if it is a laptop......

    unless it is the m15x and the netbook getting it. then that's something...

    i don't think the m17 is going anywhere until a year or two. how ever long they signed the contract for. the m15x is going right out the door. and i don't keep up with there desktops. lol

    Exactly. I am not in the least worried about cannibalism from the M15x on the current M17x. I just feel they are for different markets. As far as I am concerned, for instance, this new M15x could include a SSD upgrade for $20 I would still pick the M17x because of the size of the screen.

    It's just preference.

    now with specs and now that sleey0 brought it up. i believe the m15x will have a mobile i5/i7.

    otherwise they would of change that trouble maker already. :)

    To me, i7 is a no-brainer.

    I am just curious as to what the gpu will be :)

    that's something that would require alot of thinking.

    i would say a dx11 but ..... the "flagship" would be affected....
    i would say it would stay single gpu..

    my vote big time is ati...... because of price..

    i notice nvidia isn't saying much. i believe they are waiting for ati. then they are going to match there cards and come out with something better. but that's another topic.

    so what do you think is coming out....

    i think some desktops as well.

    what do you think about a netbook. is it worth thinking about or a long shot????

    Netbook is a possibility now that Dell has a say :) The marketing goliath that Dell is, ya know?

    Anyway, Moo said there were 2 desktops and 1 laptop. 1 desktop is a full-on gaming beast and the other a smaller one (shuttle, anyone? lol).

    We will see next week!

    me to. i'm trying to think of the design of the m15x. the m17x has a lambo look to it.
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=417349
    [​IMG]

    so i'm thinking something like bugatti or a mazarati... i'm just thinking of the top of my head... like they did with the m17x. the only thing i wish the m17x had was the extra lcd like the m1730 but it's no biggi. (bragginf rights. :))

    Wasn't there a picture around with some small pentagons on a red background or something? I think that would be a part of the M15x. I just don't know what part would that be.

    Tried to find some Clarksfield release info, but I am finding those articles have been pulled, at least from these 2 sites, but the cached version is still available:

    http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache...elease+date+schedule&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

    The highly anticipated Core i7-based "Clarksfield" Notebook CPUs will be available by October 2009. They will be released in three models as listed below. Each featuring four cores, Socket PGA-G1, DDR3 1333MHz memory and Turbo Boost support.

    * Core 2 Extreme XE (2GHz, 3.2GHz TB, 8MB L3 Cache, 55W)
    * Core 2 Quad P2 1.73GHz (1.73GHz, 3.06GHz TB, 6MB L3 Cache, 45W)
    * Core 2 Quad P1 1.6GHz (1.6GHz, 2.8GHZ TB, 6MB L3 Cache, 45W)

    http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache...elease+date+schedule&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

    Basically the same, but less text.

    And, here is one from the same day, that didn't get pulled, but it doesn't have the detailed chip specs that the other 2 articles provided...

    http://cogadget.com/2009/07/14/inte...ield-cpus-for-laptops-launching-in-september/

    I am guessing the 2 different speeds listed for each processor, are the low power speed, and the Turbo Boost speed.

    Looking forward to seeing what comes out on the 23rd :)

    What kind of desktops? I heard something about a mini-desktop which sounds interesting. I need a desktop and if it costs less than £650 I might hold out on buying that Dell.

    I was also hoping one of the alien heads would represent a 12/13-inch.

    I don't really care what comes out, im just interested to see how alienware evolves. I'm glad there finally changing the design for their desktops. After all those years and allways kept the same look. Anyway i think this is more the way to go for them:
    ><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yIjNyTuxO18&hl=nl&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yIjNyTuxO18&hl=nl&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width='320' height='265'></embed></object>

    the new one has certain reasons for opening each side ......

    not as extreme but each side has a purpose
