    I do not think so. the only reason for a new model is the 480M, however i think DELL won't put 480M into M15x. M17x will be the one if DELL wants to.
    By the way, nobody here could confirm what will happen regarding to AW.
    looking for powerful laptop, try M17x

    the size of m15x is bigger than a normal 15' laptop and m17x just little bigger than m15x. if u do not mind the extra 1KG, then the size won't be a problem i guess.

    No, the HD 5850 has only recently been announced.. i doubt there will be an update for the M15x anytime soon. I don't think the M15x is oversized for a 15" laptop, AW will definitely not want to replace it with a completely different model as the entire AW lineup follows near identical design parallels.

    Not likely, considering Dell just did GPU refreshes for the current M15x...

    Well, a 15 foot laptop would be pretty big, I doubt they will have one anytime soon.
